[QUOTE="Fran, post: 28581, member: 3"] <span style='font-size: 11pt'>Welcome. You have a multitude of challenges on your plate. Can you relinquish the parenting of difficult child to husband? I don't have experience with addiction so I won't offer any. I don't know if I could parent effectively if the expectation of my mate was that he didn't have to be involved or care and I was to pull a rabbit out of my hat. Try to break things down into manageable issues. You have an addicted person in your home. What should you do? You have marital problems that are related to above but are more involved? What do you want to do? Your husband's son is struggling? What does husband want to do about it? What should you do about it? What is best for your family? Your other 4 children must be hurting to have this tension and addiction in your home. You can't handle all of these issues in one day. Pick one and make a plan. Write it down if it helps. I'm sorry how things are going. Having a difficult child is tough, having more than one multiplies the stress so much more. Especially if it's supposed to be the other half of a responsible parenting team.</span> [/QUOTE]
