[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 558615, member: 11791"] Well, this doesn't really have anything to do with him being an X. You'll notice around here that there are DHs that are the same way... Accept the fact that X is probably a difficult child in his own right, and doesn't want to face THAT fact. All of these issues have a tendency to run in families. If X wants to keep up the appearance of being "normal", then he needs "normal" kids. The kids are not normal... and he feels it reflects on HIM. Therefore, defensive. Your kids may well grow up to be people of value in society. I expect my two kids - both of them - will do so. They will never be "like everybody else". But then again... neither were most of the people who changed the world. Your son could go on to be a research scientist, or an engineer, for example. The potential upside is as big as the downside. But... to get that message across, your husband would have to open the door just a crack. [/QUOTE]
