OTH,
I agree w/M about your h and the drinking. They do not want a "mother". The ow represents freedom and independence and she will not pass judgment on him nor point the finger. His family and you will need to find a way to stay out of his business for a while.

He's acting like a teenager and doesn't want to hear it. Rebelling is one of those famous things that they do in mlc. Your home was becoming a safe place for him at times. Now, you must step back and let things be. If he comes over or contacts you, you are going to have to act like nothing has happened. Truth be told, he not remember any of what transpired. Do not bring it up...go on as if it's business as usual.

Step back, bite your tongue (for he is a grown man), and let him crash and burn on his own. Keep the focus on you and your children.


Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to.
The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
