[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 572402, member: 13542"] Would your wife be willing to talk to a counselor with you so you could look at options together? If you're not on the same page, it doesn't sound at all fair to you to live this way. If your son has mental issues, you could contact NAMI, which is National Alliance for Mental Illness, they have chapters everywhere, you can access them online and check them out. They have really good programs for parents which not only educate you but I have found them to be very helpful with offering options. Have you talked to your wife about the seriousness of your feelings? If not of course that would be the next step. If so, leaving may be your only option. I know from my own experience that living with an adult child who is acting like your son is very, very hard on relationships and would be especially so if you and your wife are doing different battles. If it were me, I would be very clear with my partner about what I am willing to do and what I am not willing to do and try to work out options with a counselor. If she is unwilling to do anything to work with you, geez, I am sorry, but that would appear to me as if I would have no choice but to leave. I am very sorry you find yourself in this situation. You sound like you're being held hostage by your sons behavior and your wife is allowing it. [/QUOTE]
