thanks Rick. I'm hanging in there. I am trying to not lose my temper.....GRRRRR. Her family has always been too damn intrusive. W was just too young when we got together. No life experience. No living on her own.

If I thought it was good for S and I could stand to be apart from him(which i cannot) i would let her take him with NO HELP from me for a while and see how that does of reality bites. BUT she has the very very intrusive overbearing mother who would take up my slack and W probaly wouldn't get quite the dose she needs.

How in the living he@@ do people make it through this emotional stuff without just having a good old fashioned nervous breakdown. I'm about a half inch away from it....and the only thing that keeps me going is knowing my baby needs his mama. smile
