[QUOTE="WhereIsTheLight, post: 37810, member: 3673"] Ah, I remember running interference between difficult child and DEX. Hated it, and it was one of the reasons I divorced him. It has been such a struggle for me to parent difficult child alone. Looking back, I wish I had demanded family counseling first...given it one last try. The most important relationship in your home is that between you and your husband. Period. Moms don't like hearing this, but if you and your husband can maintain a united front, even when it hurts and you don't agree, it will be better for your son in the long run. I know when they are so close to a milestone that you want so badly to see them succeed. I've had to pull my difficult child out of massage school because of her antics, both in school and at home. I didn't want to do it, but I couldn't justify $300 a month when she was signing in under an alias and her hygiene was making the students and instructors uncomfortable. Who is going to let her massage them when she smells? Finally, after another nasty, cuss-filled episode, I pulled the plug. They have to earn something. And you have to take away the things that hurt the most. Even if it hurts you to do it. [/QUOTE]
