Am I in the right Forum?

Not,

Tough love to me doesn't mean leaving a child/teen behind!

I agree. I think that's how H's parents see/justify what they did.

Oh my, I bet you did get a kick out of your H's goof on his travel plans. lol. I hope your reunion goes well. Sounds like your text may have given you the upper hand, be interesting to see how he handles that.

I don't envy you having to deal with your H after his comments. I can only imagine the things that he found out. I hope it's nothing that throws him deeper into Mr. Grumpy Pants. Why can't they just go to counseling and talk to someone who knows how to help them???? Try to stay calm and hope for the best.

Yeah. I'm rather anxious about his homecoming. NO IDEA what to expect. Could be
1. That's it. I'm out of here now.
2. We'll continue with life as "normal".
3. Total breakdown on his part re his family.

Sooo, how to prepare lol.

Ah me. I can see this whole thing eventually resolving with his recovery and my committal

Its funny how they don't recognize their own behavior traits in other people. My H is the same way. Both of our older 2 have some identical qualities to H but he doesn't see that at all. Of course, as humans I think we all avoid seeing our own flaws if possible. At least I know I do. I'm working on it.

I probably will have to curb my postings after he's comes home but don't give up on me. I'll get on as often as I can to post updates and get advice if things get too difficult.

I too will not be as free to post if/when H returns. I try to not get caught on this site by the kids and if I'm on the computer more than 5 minutes H demands to know what I'm doing. (The one time I told him I was on a site that offers help to people in our sitch he told me not to "dwell" on it. Then he asks questions that I'd rather not answer...) So I have to find rare moments of privacy for posting.

I will def keep checking to see how you are faring. Best of luck
