[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 456777, member: 84"] Being caught in the middle svcks. No other way to put it. I do see your husband's point though, and honestly, I think he's right. Young difficult child is far from being a child at this point, even though he acts terribly immature. He can fix his life if he wants to bad enough, it's his choice. As for his mother in law trying to force a divorce........well, his wife has a mind of her own and she's a grown adult. But continuing to act like an overgrown child is not helping matters any.....and leaving work unfinished to go hang and drink with a friend......breaking house rules to drink......is not the way to fix anything or get your life together. And I can understand that you don't want him on the street either. I really can. But if push comes to shove......Well, you need to ask yourself if trying to save your Adult child who doesn't seem to want to save himself worth destroying your marriage? At 22 difficult child is plenty old enough to know what things he should be doing and not doing. The choices are his to make, you can't make them for him. And if being at home is enabling him not to move forward toward maturity and adult behavior and taking responsibility for his own behavior and his wife and children, then maybe he doesn't belong at home.
