I have encouraged him to leave the house, to move in with his parents, but he refuses. He says his parents will only let him do it one time, and he wants to save it up like a piece of candy or something.
So, he respects his parents' boundaries, but he doesn't respect yours.
Yep. Thanks for the slap on the head. I needed that.
Newgal, My S is 9, but he is not my H's. He knows what is happening, and his dad and step-mom are also separated. Poor kids has a double whammy.
I could move into my parents house, but they only have a certain amount of space, and I tell myself that living with H is better than cramming everyone into a tiny "retirement" home. Plus, I operate under the sad hope that he will change his mind.
I know, I know... where is that 2x4?
Hmmmmm.
