AAHHH 17 year olds! They are so much fun! I am fortunate in one respect--D17 has NOT been allowed to get her driver's license, so some of the issues you have we have avoided thus far.
TJ, is your son in any type of counseling? I have not read all your threads, so bear with me. It seems like he is hurting, ALOT, over the actions of your H, and NEEDS someone outside of the family to talk to.
Your H is not responding well to your son. I know that S is pushing buttons, and possibly to get a rise out of your H. Time to DB your son. If everyone gets upset at him, he is getting the attention he craves, even if it is negative attention. Time to stop feeding into S.
I do not know that I would have made the call about MC. Definitely, you should not have made the comment about the upheaval. Don't feed into H, either, LOL! He doesn't need an excuse to act weird--he is obviously MLC and pod person indwelled.
You are not a schmuck--none of us are. We are just spouses that are committed to our vows and our families. PMA is a plus, but I am also thinking that positive thinking is ESSENTIAL. Speak what you want as if you have it. Believe it is reality. Accept the Blessings that God pours into your life with a grateful heart and expect more.
