How about the north pole. Wouldn't want them to enjoy their stay... Ooo better yet a garbage barge in the middle of the ocean.

omg too funny thanks I love it when you all make something depressing make me laugh

my goodness your ex and mine could be the same person (i mean seriously what he used to do for a living, the drugs and the stroies- my God my ex used to tell me all these stories about ALL these amazing things he had done, and I was naive enough to blindly believe. WOW) It's like your ex figures your son, is this person who knows nothing about him or the people he is talking about and won't chekc out these outrageous stories -...

Glad to be of sevice

Thank you for your responses and questions. SubaMom, thank you for sharing your story. I was thinking of confronting him in order to face my own fear (to stare the devil in the face so-to-speak) - to get it out and prove to myself that I can stand up for myself. I thought it could help me to feel empowered again in that aspect of my life. Cornflake Girl, your questions are very important. Confronting him might very well put my safety at risk...

 Originally Posted By: sarah girl My DH is on board with me no matter what I decide. He is not sure that confronting him is such a good idea. In fact, he thinks it's going to please his brother on some level to know about this. I am seeking counselling but I'm always worried about what I'm going to remember next... I tend to agree with your DH. If your BIL does not see anything he did as inappropriate, he will get...

If he makes excuses and tries to justify his drinking and pot smoking, and if he keeps telling me he can stop any time, but then does it anyway.

I asked him why he has to drink and get high and he says because it's fun and a way to relax. He asked me if I wanted to go to his staff...

He finally has accepted that he needs help. He has agreed to go back to school and then he will be able to see a psychologist. My mom cant afford to send him to one with out him being a full time student and therefore covered under her benifits. Which i expalined to him and he agreed to do. It took a lot of work but i think things are looking up. Thank you again for all your help!

I guess I should add that my DC's are only 28 and 4 months old so they definitely need my attention.

I found my attitude changed when I came to realize that as a SAHM, it is part of my job to cook/clean/laundry. PART of my job, not just my job. I do the laundry but everyone is responsible for getting theirs to the hamper and putting theirs away. I do the majority of the cooking but dh helps out on the weekend. I do the meal planning and make the grocery list, dh takes a kid and gets the groceries. I do the general cleaning but dh is better at...
