[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 575013, member: 2315"] Janet. Buck is definately an adult difficult child so maybe this is the place to post about him. I totally agree that Buck is a lost cause that just takes advantage of anybody who lets him. I agree that he needs to be out of your life and hooked up to some MH program for adults. That said, I do not know how you can possibly get him there even if you do all the ground work. I have a thought though as to how you might get Tony to not let him back into your home. While Buck is gone how about trying to make the time so good for both you and Tony that Tony notices and realizes that Buck is a major stressor in his life. Do not speak of Buck at all during this time, just make life peaceful and nice and spend enjoying times with your hubbie. If Tony brings up Buck just say "lets not talk about him now he isn't here and we will deal with him when he is." Maybe just maybe Tony will see how nice life can be without Buck in it. I have learned a couple of things in my 60+ years. Two of them are: 1) Men hate being told what to do. and 2) They like fixing things. Sometimes in order to get what we women want and need, we need to use this insight to our advantage. We have to figure out how to make our men want to fix the same things we want fixed, without actually telling them what to do. At times it takes some creativity and I think this is one of those times. -RM [/QUOTE]
