[quote=Anonymous]If you stay married your son will either find ways to be more assertive, or he will start avoiding both of you because he doesn't want to be around his dad. But if you divorce your husband might become even needier towards your son, so I'm not necessarily recommending that. The most helpful response might be to assist your husband in finding appropriate activities. He joined the wrong thing at church, but surely there must be some sort of older men's ministry or retreat he could be a part of? If you are not sure, reach out to church clergy and ask. Also, there are probably lots of places to volunteer. If there isn't one for men specifically maybe you could do it together the first few times and then you fade out. Obviously, counseling for your husband might be helpful, but I'm guessing he won't be interested in that. [/quote]
