[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 69070, member: 3837"] husband has no back bone or cahonas. Normally, if I am upset and I'm willing to show my teeth, he'll timidly stand behind me. Today though, I didn't see the point in going off on the psychiatrist, he was right, I was wrong. No arguing was going to change that. So I chose to just sit there and stare at him blankly. I guess husband was just following my lead. I still think he should have said something and now that my tears have stopped, I'm going to sit down with him and explain why this is a battle I can't take the lead on. When someone points out I'm not the bio mom, they're right. husband needs to learn that when this happens, its his job to point out what kind of mom I am. I can't do that for myself with people like this. They must be put in their place by my kids or my husband. If my kids had been there, they would have put him in his place. My oldest difficult child has told me before "I feel like you're my real mom and bio mom is my step mom." If this man only knew that, maybe he would have treated me differently. I think I'm fortunate he didn't know this, so I didn't waste anymore time on someone with such little interest in my children and their needs. [/QUOTE]
