[QUOTE="bran155, post: 177649"] I agree completely with BigBadKitty!!! I too have a step situation, my husband is not my daughter's bio dad. I can along with others here I'm sure, relate to what you are dealing with. I believe as parent's to our children we have the responsibility to make choices with their best interest at heart. It is our duty to protect our kids and provide a safe and nurturing environment for them. I would be reluctant to have a man in my life who smokes pot or any other drug, for that matter, around my children, especially if one of them is recovering. How can you expect your son to stay clean when your husband isnt??? I think that is a bit hypocritical. In my house, within reason of course, my difficult child comes way before her step-father. That's not to say I dont love my husband, he is a great man, but he knows that my daughter is part of the package. As difficult as she is to live with, he will never have the power to put her out!!! If she gets kicked out it will be my foot that does the kicking. However, my husband is not the kind of man who would put me in that position anyway. I am very lucky that way. Our difficult child's have a hard enough time in the world, they don't need to feel second best at home. I'm sorry if this sounds a bit harsh, it's just my opinion. Congrats to your son for his sobriety!!! Good luck. :) [/QUOTE]
