Ashlee-
It may not happen right this minute, but the fact that his son see's through his actions will sink in with your H. There is nothing like a man being called out by his own son. He may try to play it off like it is S's issue, but he can't ignore it. I had a similar situation with my S this past week and his dad. Of course he is only 6 but all his pent up anger came pouring out finally and he told his dad how mad he was that he wasn't home and that he needs to stop getting drunk so he can come home. I have been very careful with what information I give to son. My son's IC says don't hide things because then he will assume things are his fault, but I also don't talk badly about his dad. Until recently I had just said dad is having issues. Now I m actually naming it and saying dad is drinking too much and he can't have the kind of friendship he has with OW because you don't do that when you are married. It is so tricky with kids involved. I think you are doing a great job.
