[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 275716, member: 1991"] Des, there is nothing wrong with giving the child what he wants, if it is also what you need. Don't just stay, to foil the child's desires. Stay if you want to, not because thechild doesn't want you to. If you only stay to foil the child, then you are still being manipulated by the child. As for "we can't afford counselling" - it is a lot cheaper to get some counselling now, than to have to get a whole lot more later on. It is an investment in the child's future. Or doesn't husband believe the child has a future? Also, if you leave, even for a short while, the message may get through that you really do mean what you say, that you really are concerned. Maybe then husband would take your concerns more seriously. This is NOT your problem. Or it shouldn't be. DO not let husband blame you for the child not fitting in. This is a lot bigger than that.
