Quote From: minerj73I have a similar situation, but have been trying to work all of our relationships out. Anyway, I would suggest contacting a University pych. department. I have resently visited a therapist through a University and he was/is very good at his job. If your husband and/or son would be willing to go with you, all the better. Your one step ahead of me if the whole family is willing to go.
I also have a similiar situation but I think mine is a little more serious. I have not met anyone else that can relate to being a single mom of a son. Our "boys" have such a special place in our hearts and I don't think anyone can understand that but us. My boy is 16 and he does not like my fiance. My fiance has been and continues to be verbally abusive and feels threatened by my son because of our relationship. My fiance is a truck driver and is gone 3-5 nights per week. Therefore, I think he feels that my son is taking his place when he is not there and so he feels out of place when he comes home. He takes out his anger and frustrations on me and my son. I also have a 7 year old daughter who he is very good to and that is difficult to see the difference in treatment. My fiance says it is because he has been with her since she was two and my son was 10 years old. But he is the man of the house and I expect him to act like it. He acts so immature sometimes I hate him for it. I don't know what to do. I do think that if your husband is trying to help you with your son in a respectful way, you should appreciate that and not take offense to it. As long as there is no abuse your ok. My fiance has pushed my son around so I think there is more going on than I know how to handle. I need help but also do not know where to go. I would like to know how things turn out for you. Good luck and hang in there.
