[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 663674, member: 18958"] Queenlette, that is the problem we struggle with with our adult children. It all boils down to taking care of ourselves and our other children for whom we are responsible, and taking a stand for what is right. Those answers are in you. You have to decide how far you will go and what is best for you and your children. You will never be able to make somebody change. They can only change for themselves. There are no excuses when other people are involved, especially children. Your husband is responsible to find ways to control his behavior, even if he was a victim. Many of us have children that were victimized in one way or another. They had no fault in it at all. They are still responsible to fix themselves so that they do not hurt others. Your husband, it seems, gets a lot of power through using his needs, his state of mind, to control the house, the family, and you. How much you tolerate this for yourself and your children is your decision. There is nothing easy about this. For any of us. [/QUOTE]
