[QUOTE="klmno, post: 350999, member: 3699"] I think Terry has some good ideas that maybe you and husband can expand upon. I have to say that after what I've dealt with in my difficult child, I am now convinced that maybe I was "conditioned" into going too far in the sympathetic direction with my son because I thought others were being too severe and going too far in the discipline direction in the past- and now I think the truth is in the middle, so to speak. That doesn't mean that it's the answer for all our difficult child's, of course, or even that we have the answer for mine yet. It sounds to me like you and husband need a little time alone to reconnect and another time set aside to compromise on how to work with Manster- in a way that's in the middle and you both can live with it. And there might be a little residual effect from husband feeling like "ok, if Manster gets grown up then what is the difference between the way you feel about him and the way he felt about his son living with you two". I'm not saying it IS the same situation, just that husband might be feeling like it is. Blended families are hard, at best. ((HUGS)) [/QUOTE]
