[QUOTE="SunnyFlorida, post: 21484, member: 696"] Everyone has their breaking point, or their line in the sand that says "I'm done". Obviously your husband is "not there yet". That's ok.....many of us aren't there yet either [img]:smile:[/img] It's a good/bad thing. I/we pretty much understand the predicament you are in. You want to make some changes but not only is difficult child standing in your way but husband is too. Sooooooooooooo what can you do? Well you can not purchase anything but basic food, basic clothing, no extra's whatsoever. You don't have to pay for treats or fun places to go, or designer clothes, or movies, or sodas, or chips, etc. One day years ago, difficult child 1 kicked the windshield and it cracked and we had to pay for it. Because he had no income, our family budget had to be reduced by the amount of our bill. The only way to do that was to restrict all the extras and put a dollar amount to them. That way difficult child got the message and didn't get to have all the fun stuff to wear, eat, or do for about 2months. [/QUOTE]
