[QUOTE="hopeandjoy66, post: 657234, member: 18181"] I don't vent at the Difficult Child, I unfortunately let my tongue louse at my husband about the Difficult Child. This scenario is bad because the Difficult Child is his not mine. You know that wicked stepmother thing, it is me. All I really want to do is slap the Difficult Child up the side of the head and say WTF is wrong with you, so I feel a little tongue lashing about the problem won't cause nearly the damage I would like to do. Let me tell you, it does. Words leave a mark a lot longer than a slap. For me my problem becomes anger and frustration and then I blow. The Difficult Child has just had a major "crisis"...mind you, self inflicted,drug use again and with what should have had major consequences with it, but as usual everyone has played there usual part in the play to make it all better for Difficult Child. I resent that this is still impacting us at some level. I am angry that Difficult Child's mother has again, rescued him when she said she wouldn't. I know,.. I have no control over that. So as far as the keeping the mouth shut I swear I just explode. I resent him, I resent her so much, that even with trying to detach this causes chaos to our usually fairly peaceful lives. To be honest, I really can't stand the guy. (How horrible is that). It is only because of my husband that I can tolerate him. So needless to say keeping my mouth shut for a little while works but then BAM! Damage done. Now it is time to try to fix the scars that this has left on husband about his son. Lots of prayers, needed for this. [/QUOTE]
