[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 530020, member: 14557"] I hear you. And thanks for pointing out that side of this. My only problem with that is, that mother in law didn't have a problem a year ago, then things were much fresher, but fewer had yet heard about it. And the problem is also that this goes far back and starts with something that difficult child had absolutely nothing to do with. First of, I wasn't the right girl for her precious son and mostly so because of my lineage so to say (all those talented but troubled difficult child's I have behind me.) And then I [B]did[/B] do something that certainly proved her right. Let's just say that I can give a run for their money to any difficult child in self-destruction when I put my mind into it. And that while we had been few years married when difficult child was born, he happens to be one of those children who doesn't look at all like their dad and not much like his mom (not that he looks like his biological father either.) easy child is spitting image of his dad and people don't often even believe that difficult child and easy child are brothers so unfortunately that has given fuel to some gossip and joking also. mother in law has never been okay with difficult child after she found out (and he was only few months old at the time) or with her son decision to stay with us. That is her right and I certainly understand why she doesn't like me. But blaming my son about that is too much. And partly this is about that. If it was some of her other grandkids who would had done the same my son did, it would not be an issue. But you are very right about natural consequences. My son have had them very hard, much harder than any legal punishment would had been. What he did was kept under wraps, partly because in our system only legal consequence would had been a smallish fine, maybe 100-200 dollars. That could had led difficult child to think, that this was just a small matter. Giving difficult child an impression everyone was doing him a favour with not reporting him and that he got really lucky in 'only' having those other consequences (getting kicked from his team, having to move from home to the small town three hour drive away, having a very big dive in his standard of living, having to deal with the totally new team, there everyone knew what he had done and thought he was a total rat and wanted nothing to do with him, having a huge step back when it came to his future goals and dreams etc.) And yeah, I think he needed all that to drive it through to him, how badly he was screwing his life because of his addiction. But after how he has handled all that, how hard he has worked and how much he has gained back of the lost things, I just don't give a rat's a** what mother in law may think is embarrassing. [/QUOTE]
