[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 607254, member: 3305"] Yes, In hindsight, I wish I had not tried to mediate but instead let father and son work out their differences on their own. I think men take whats been stolen from family much more personally than we do. Men tend to look at the financial toll and of course what the drug/alcohol destruction does to their wives (us) and other children as well. I see Men as the protectors...and when our difficult child's behaviors attempt to destroy the "castle" there often will be a WAR. This is how I see it anyway. Of course I understand your wanting to smooth things over between the two but it is their bond that has been harmed...Yours is between you and difficult child. LMS [/QUOTE]
