Just out of curiousity:  what country is your husband from?  I'm not from the US originally either--but I can't offhand think of a country other than the US that encourages their children to move away at 18.  So I don't think it's cultural, but rather some resentement on the part of your husband--whoreally does come across like a jerk here.[/quote]

I was wondering the same thing!   [/quote]

This is true. My husband was sent for by his father when he was 15, so he has spent more of his life here than his country. A year after being here, his father wanted to ship him back and he had to leave his father's house in the middle of the night to go stay with a relative because he wanted to stay in this country. He was on his own from the time he was 18, working, going to school and paying his own rent, so I guess that's why he thinks my son should be off on his own doing the same. I keep reminding him that this situation is different and I would not put my son out simply because my husband was on his own at the same age. [b]Yes, my husband does sound like an ass [/b]after reading what I wrote and the responses. [/quote]

Um, yes.  He not only sounds like an ass, he IS an ass.

Your first responsibility is to your son.  He is working in school, tolerating his ass of a stepfather, and trying to make his way.  For the love of God, support him in this endeavor.  Have you forgotten that you are his MOTHER?[/quote]
