[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 705896, member: 18958"] The issue of acting in concert with your partner...is not simple. Of course the two of you have to agree, to a point, at least. Is he willing to come to the site and post, if not read your concerns and the responses? I have a partner who is not the parent to my son who I adopted as a single mother. We try to come to agreement and we do in most situations. But there are times when he overrides my behavior, not my decisions. I come to feel cornered, act from a space that [I]feels[/I] afraid, powerless, desperate, and end up doing stupid stuff, like kick my son out. and then 5 minutes later I am in my nightgown in the car driving up and down streets to search for him. And unable to sleep throughout a stormy night. M just acts to do the right thing which temporarily I am unable to reach for let alone conceive of. There is growth for a couple in this process, and individually, too. We do learn more and more who we are...and who we are not. [/QUOTE]
