A,
I'm very sorry to see that things have taken a different turn than what you may have wanted/expected. However, let's take a look at the situation w/your son and your h at this time. Your son needs a male figure in his life, possibly on a full time basis, for a while. This is a very good opportunity for your h to be a full time parent and give you a break. You've been carrying a large part, if not all, of the parenting load while your h has been playing in his sand box. Now, it's your turn to rest, get your stress levels back to normal and put your focus on you for a while. I know you are looking at the situation in a different light, but I do believe you've been given an opportunity for a much needed break.

Your h will now see what you've had to deal with when it comes to your son rebelling, staying out and not doing what he's suppose to be doing. I suspect that your son will not be living w/your h for very long. As another poster pointed out, kids will play parents against each other. He will get tired of your h supervising him and will want to return home, and vice versa. He will want to return home, but for now, give the young man some time to spend w/his father.

I do hope that you are feeling better today. I know it hurts, but sometimes we have to let them test their wings a bit, but those little birdies do return to the nest when the time is right.

Sending you warm and positive thoughts.
