[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 310977, member: 1963"] I'm going to jump in late with a suggestion: While I am pretty sure you aren't dealing with a situation like this member's, you might want to search the site for postings by a user call WSM. They very clearly show the family dynamic with a SO in denial, a very ill child, and a stepmother who is trying to keep her head above water. Last I heard she wound up filing for divorce for her own wellness. It's a very sad story but it is an object lesson in just how bad things can get if not treated early and aggressively. Also, though I don't intend to offend, you need to ask yourself where you see this relationship being in five or ten years. If you find it unbearable now, you will still find it to be so as time goes on. Sadly, no matter how much you want it, or how hard you try, you CANNOT change another person. They have to want change and be willing to work for it. Best of luck toK [/QUOTE]
