[quote=Anonymous]I think ppl are being a super mean to OP. Your kid's not perfect (most 18 yr olds aren't). He's going off to college. This could be a game changer. Your son might just grow up and and your DH might just relax once he's out of the house. I'd try to bring tensions down as much as possible and get that boy off to school. Then, re-group and see where your relationship with your DH is. Where I think you do need to assert yourself is in absorbing any toxic BS your DH sends your way. If he's venting about his disappointment and blaming you I'd come up with a 1-2 line response that you repeat every time that ends the discussion. Something like "I'm sorry you feel that way, perhaps you want to talk to a counselor about how we can improve our relationship with DS." Whatever he says in response, you repeat your line, rinse, repeat, don't otherwise engage and leave the room.[/quote]
