[QUOTE="JaneBetty, post: 703517, member: 20814"] A dad, you are in a difficult position. You want to stand as one with your wife, and you love your son, are proud of his accomplishments, and want to support him as well. It took me a long time to accept that one of my daughters would not follow the path that I had hoped for her. After years of joblessness, she appears to have a job in a local factory. I can honestly say that I am very proud of her because almost ANY job was preferable to her being unemployed and emotionally troubled. We cannot control the direction that our children's lives will take. I gave up worrying what other people thought about my family. Most people are involved in their own lives anyway. It sounds as though your son is satisfied with his two jobs, and he wants his mother's love and acceptance above all else. I see this as her challenge. In your shoes, I would encourage her to look beyond your son's living conditions and jobs, and try to focus on the love she has for your son. [/QUOTE]
