[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 707264, member: 15032"] Mag Welcome and sorry you have to be here. You are only human and you lost it. I get it!! I lost it with my son many times and said things that I am not proud of. His behavior was turning me into someone that I did not like. Your wife loves her son naturally and I'm not sure how long that this was going on with him, but she was probably unknowingly enabling him. His behavior now is typical; addicts are angry when they don't get their own way. It is good that he is out of your home. Maybe in time she will also feel some relief. I agree that you both need to get into marriage counseling and/or some type of therapy. This is a hard road and not normal parenting. We really never asked more than the normal for our son too so that he could be in our home, but he just refused. Our life is much happier now. I know that if OUR son was not my husband's son, I would have probably seen him as part of the problem too. He in no way could have dealt with this if it were not his own flesh and blood. It's just not who he is but I can understand that. Agree to let her read some of our posts here. She will see herself in many of them. We get it and we don't judge. [/QUOTE]
