[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 717729, member: 15032"] Cultura You are beyond insightful and wise and I am sure you will do what is best. It is very difficult to see or act clearly when our emotions/love are in the picture. I agree not being there for this visit is the best thing to do and move forward with your wife in therapy. She needs to understand where you are coming from; that you are in no way trying to prevent her from being with her son. I think as a mother myself that we tend to feel we sometimes need to "protect" our children (young adult or whatever) from their step parent because we feel they (the step parent) just doesn't understand. It's VERY complex!! We don't always know where concern/anger/criticism is coming from. I say this from personal experience as my husband was a step parent to my older son when he was young and man it was tough and my son was an angel!! [/QUOTE]
