[QUOTE="graceupongrace, post: 298518, member: 7371"] WSM, I am so sad about this. It is horrible for everyone. But it seems like the smaller issues (the book, etc.) are obscuring the big ones. difficult child truly sounds scary and dangerous. The family is not being protected from him, and he is not getting the help he needs. husband is focusing on how people perceive his parenting skills, and not on what needs to be done for difficult child and for his wife & other kids (step and bio). His drinking is making everything worse. [B][I]None of you should have to live with a kid who has to be locked up in his room and under 24-hour surveillance; he should be somewhere where he gets around-the-clock help when he needs it.[/I][/B] I would encourage you to talk to the sympathetic CPS lady to see if anything can be done to resolves difficult child's situation faster. And I concur with Susiestar that Alanon is a good way for you to get the support you need, whether you decide to file for divorce or not. It has literally been a lifesaver for friends of mine. Hugs and prayers, WSM. I know this has been a long and difficult journey. :praying: [/QUOTE]
