Hi Pam, Thanks. I'm sure that I could have just talked to his mom w/o a prob. She & I get along fairly well.
She is the dominant one in the family. H's dad is very passive, but then has anger outbursts-not directed at her specifically but maybe a pill bottle that he can't open, etc. She has tried to boss me around, but I don't let her. H just lets it go in one ear and out the other.
So, H is EXTREMELY resistant to being controlled in our R. I know I shouldn't control him, but even making a suggestion or expressing any feelings towards him, sets him off (or shuts him down I could say).
I hardly ever IM, but check periodically. You are always welcome to email me!
