[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 576193, member: 15799"] I have been alone raising my 2 boys all by myself from day 1. Their father took off 4 months before they were born (they are twins) because the thought of being a father "scared" him, so he says. I don't even get child support much less any other kind of support. YOU can do this. YOU "get" your son. YOU know how to work with your son. YOU know what he needs and are willing to do what HE needs to succeed. Now you can spend your time working with your son instead of trying to "calm" his father. You are doing all the right things by your son and that is what your job as a mom is all about. Your husband might just be "grieving" what never will be ("normal" son to do father-son things with) OR he has issues of his own that prevent him from seeing the issues and knowing how to deal with them OR he is just a selfish fool that can't see what he does have. You can do a very good job by yourself. You come across as being a strong person. I have no doubt you will successfully raise your 3 children without having to worry about a "4th, grown-up child" (husband). That's the way I look at it. I just know that if my ex had stuck around, I'd be raising 3 children with issues, not 2. Good luck and I hope you find the convidence and strength you need to do well by your son. It can be done.
