[QUOTE="Joyfullyme, post: 664894, member: 19400"] Thank you Copa! I feel SO empowered finally. My husband has always been so supportive and I know he aches for our son (his stepson), but he has had an easier time letting go than me. I have found him weeping sometimes, but only because he wants to much more for our son - but he also has a healthy view of it: that it is up to our son to do what needs to be done. My husband is my rock in all of this and always has been. We have had times when it has come between us, but when that happens we literally stop, get in the car, drive and reconnect and remember that WE - our relationship - is what matters as we are going to be the ones left when the kids are all living whatever lives they choose to live. We can't let ANYTHING or ANYONE come between us, no matter what. We make a great team - when I am weak, he is strong and vise versa. I am so very grateful for that! I tell him what I learn on this forum and he is very glad that I have found it. What we have found is that when we are a united front, we get less push-back from our son. It has been the times we have been divided - and our son KNEW it - that we have had trouble. When stuff hits the fan, he and I stop and breathe and remember that we are HE AND I - we can't let anyone or anything change that. =) [/QUOTE]
