Sounds like your husband cannot see how self-centered he is, and does not have the skills to read other people, including his closest and dearest.

Sounds a lot like my husband! :-)
He just yelled at our son this very afternoon and it escalated into a screaming match, for a minor situation that I would have dealt with easily and quietly.

My husband has ADHD and Asperger's tendencies. I am in the process of finding a good therapist and a psychiatrist, and hope he will agree to go for a visit, because it really can't continue like this. At this point, I don't even like leaving both of them alone.

I advise you to talk to your son very frankly about this. Tell him that his father may or may not change. So your son has to learn tactics of avoidance as well as detachment, even though most conflicts will not be of his making. It's a hard lesson to learn for a kid, but the sooner he learns to deal with people like this, the better off he'll be.

I would nix father-son weekends away for now.
