[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 717763, member: 13303"] Thank you all so much for the kind and amazing replies. WiserNow, you are correct, at this point the situation between DS and myself is settled in that I have my boundaries around his behavior (whether he is aware of them or not) and I'll be sticking to them. The issue is within my marriage and my wife's choices as they pertain to her child. Wife and I did talk more last night before bed, after we had each calmed down, and she seemed to understand why I was upset with her. We were able to reach an understanding that our positions are not mutually exclusive, and I was very clear with her that I was not at all trying to restrict her relationship with DS. That was positive, but it doesn't seem to address the fact that I am uncomfortable with how her kids have been raised (not my business!), that I disagree with her decisions about their welfare and upkeep (not my business!) and that I don't know what it says about HER that she is willing to rug-sweep a potentially fatal assault from DS (not sure if that's my business or not)! Perhaps on Sunday I should grab an Al-Anon meeting and allow my wife to have a day with her kid. [/QUOTE]
