Lisa,

Two great posts by nic and Ellie. Both posts elude to the same thing. Time will tell if 1) You have adopted the changes you've been working on to the core. Meaning, are they now habit. and 2) In order for this M to really work, B has a ton of issues to resolve and it isn't going to happen without effort on his part. I mean REAL effort.

I believe Eliie can atest to the second part.

I wouldn't wish what you are going through on anyone. Set out some goals to work on, set some boundaries, continue to be the great Mom you are and let's see where those things lead.
