[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 705886, member: 18958"] Percy. It is so easy for me to see YOUR situation and see how YOU should act. And so difficult in my own. The hypocrisy of this, I see. BUT. If I am understanding your situation, your son is putting everything at risk: your kids, your home, your financial solvency and security, your work, your ethics and morality; and especially any sense of power over and authority in your home and family. Each of us here have been through something similar and for many of us it is ongoing. In my own situation, there is not the issue of young children. My son is an adult. There is not the same legal constraints. But still, I am going nuts, half the time. What your situation offers is CLARITY for somebody who is not immersed in it: because of the younger kids; because of your jobs that require disclosure and oversight, and if compromised, the huge losses you would suffer; the fact that your son is on probation. Each of these factors act to constrain you; mandating you to act in a proscribed way. That is what distance affords. The ability to see situations with clarity. When one is in the midst of it, the thick of it--we cannot see. Read again your post, over and over and see if you find another option that will ease risk for the family. I am glad you found us. Forgive me if my posting is too direct. Honestly. If I saw another way, I would say. [/QUOTE]
