[QUOTE="ML, post: 276373"] It never happened. J said he needed a few minutes and that was at 10:00 am and it is now 8 pm and he hasn't come up from the basement, presumably sleeping all day since he was out partying last night. The issue has been in the pit of my stomach and basically ruined my day. It is stressing husband, probably even more so. I don't know how to handle this. I don't mean to keep bothering everyone with this same issue but I don't have anyone to talk to about this right now in real life. I don't know how anyone makes a second marriage (when it inherits kids from the first one) work. I feel like I'm a decent, supportive and understanding person. Actually I'm probably too nice if anything. I listen, encourage and try to be fair. But this situation is out of control and I fear I may be powerless. It's husband's gig and it should be up him to establish the adult relationship he has with his son. If he wants to enable him to stay dependent what is my place in that? It's a slippery slope and I feel like I'm sliding fast. I guess I'll try to let it go for tonight and maybe we'll get a chance to talk to J tomorrow. ML [/QUOTE]
