[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 377518"] Ok so that is the first step, getting on the same page. I think often one partner gets to the end of their rope faster than the other. I think it is really hard for one parent to not enable if the other one is. It doesn't help the kid and it is really hard on the marriage. In our case my husband and I got on the same page and so together made the decision to throw my son out..... and since then my husband has stepped up a lot more to talk to him about things... this is because I was always the bad guy and so my son resents me a lot more than his father. I think however it sunk in a lot more when his father also refused to enable him. So if possible take your wife out and talk and listen to each other about where you both are at. Talk about your fears talk about what you both want and get some counseling. It may come to a point where you have to decide if you can keep living there. I hope you and she can get some help and work on this together. It is so much easier of the parents can work together to come up with a plan on how to deal with the child. You don't want to be in a situation where you undermine each other. [/QUOTE]
