Quote From: youngins"..has done little to get help." To me, thats not really interested in changing. It's one thing to admit you have a problem. It's something else to make the decision that he is not going to cause any more pain, and is going to find some way to heal.
It appears he is not there yet - which is unfortunate. He needs professional counciling (impulse control issues, among others).
I know this takes a lot of strength on your part and I wish you the best.

I have to make some difficult decisions for sure. My mom is 400 miles away battling breast cancer and my two older children have already flown the coop and are in college with one being married herself. I still have a 16 year old (from a previous marriage) at home as well as the 8 year old. If I could keep my 16 year old in this town so he can get through high school for at least this year I would go support my mom through her battle, which would help me get away from here as well. At least I would be appreciated there! I wanted to be with her months ago but stayed to take care of my hubby since his health is poor. Life is short ya know! I totally agree when you say hubby is not seeking to change his issues. I have waited nearly a month for him to call for help. (and yes he has had physical issues but he can dial phone.....) I refuse to do it for him. That is something that is not my place to do. It is so difficult to love someone so much and want to hold them on one hand and on the other want to vomit on their shoes!

Thanks so much for your support. It really helps!
