[QUOTE="Star*, post: 83964, member: 4964"] What this results in is me lecturing him about drinking to much, drinking and driving and not learning from his mistakes. He in turn says, I know, I have to stop drinking all together and then the behavior repeats itself. ...again, I gotta ask WHY do you continue to 'mother' him? I am curious however about the therapist having you call him and tell him what you think, when he doesn't know what to think on his own without YOU telling him. She just told you that you can't have a romantic relationship with your child, yet sends you out to tell an already unstable person what you think of him??? How does this help anyone? (curious) AND When you're telling him what you think, do you actually expect him at this stage of your marriage to look you in the eye and say ""Gosh Karen everything you said is :censored:." He'd agree with your right now if you told him he was a toad. Tell him something he doesn't already know about himself from your point of view and see how he reacts to that. Snakes shed their skin, but always get new shiney ones. My .02 (Really am proud of you) Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
