[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you divorced? Widowed?[/quote]

I'm widowed. Spouse died suddenly a year ago. DS found him (I was on a business trip). DS has depression and cutting, and spurts of anger. Yes, he needs limits, and I don't want to play chicken with ending his sports team, as it's an important outlet for him and a source of continuity and stability. Having good friendships is a protective factor for suicide prevention. Which yes, also is a concern, when he's really sad.

So we are a work in progress.

I appreciate all the suggestions.[/quote]

Oh my, OP. I'm so sorry. If you work a demanding job and long hours I'm not sure I'd want to replace the au pair with a driving service. I wouldn't want DS alone every afternoon. If your son is mature enough, and his therapist is open to it, maybe have a family brainstorming session with them? No situation is going to be perfect because no one can bring DH back, but what can he help you figure out to make the best of a horrible situation. [/quote]
