[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 689992, member: 15801"] WSM, I hope you will check in and let us know how you are doing with all of this. I feel for you so much as this seems like such a difficult dilemma to me and shows the difficulty when you are not totally on the same page with your husband. That can be difficult when you are both parents of the child but even harder I think when one is a step parent. I really don't see how your son can go if your husband does not want him to... That is just a set up for a totally miserable vacation for everyone. I think your husband is being a little bit unfair BUT I can also understand. If this has been planned a long time, just imagine your son going and either falling apart or relapsing while on vacation..... It could easily ruin the vacation. And your sons sobriety is still new.... The stress of a family vacation could make staying sober very difficult for him. This is all new and I know you want to trust him but in reality you probably can't yet. So I don't like the idea of not letting your son go as a punishment, that you messed up and so you are not welcome.... BUT I think it more as this is all so new, and the family just isn't ready for the dynamics of a vacation and your sobriety yet. But yes I think planning something where you can go and do something fun with just you and your son is a great idea. TL [/QUOTE]
