[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 570709, member: 1514"] As the posters above have said, this seems to be a complicated matter where things may seem to overlap, I dont think they truly do. As Dr Phil likes to say "You are arguing about topics and not the real issues." difficult child, husband, and your other son are all totally separate issues. While it may seem that they are overlapping in all the arguing, that is because it is easy to scapegoat one person (difficult child) instead of dealing with each separate issue on its own. We tend to do that here too. Its so much easier to get into fights about Cory when the real issue is something else entirely. It always ends up if I say one word to my SO about his brother, he turns the conversation back around to something Cory has done wrong. I really dont understand it and it makes me madder than a wet hen. So I really get where you are coming from. I do think therapy is a good idea but I couldnt get mine to go to therapy for all the tea in China. He thinks there is nothing wrong with him and that I have poisoned the therapists against him. That would even be the case if I picked someone out of the phone book and had never seen them before. Personally I think my SO is beginning to lose a few marbles. [/QUOTE]
