[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What should I do about this weekend and my son's birthday? I really don't want these people at my house. [/quote]

Why do you need to ask us this?  Of course they should not be at your house.  Tell them that they are welcome to come to the party, but you will need them to stay at a hotel.  Give them a hotel recommendation.  Do not expect your DH to do this -- it would be best if he would, but he is really, really, really far away from being functional as a parent who is the child of an alcoholic.  He let his alcoholic dad pee in front of his kid and did not immediately kick him out of the house.  He is not functional and so you must be.  Tell them they cannot stay.  Take the blowback from your DH and your IL's.  This is what you do as a parent who is halfway emotionally functional.  You protect your kids from people who are not.  Then get yourself back into therapy, STAT.  Why were you seeking this woman's approval?  Why do you lack a backbone even still?  You need to figure this stuff out.  Don't put it all on your DH; you are being a doormat, too.  This is YOUR home and your kids' home and you get to say DRUNKEN PEOPLE AND VERBALLY ABUSIVE PEOPLE MAY NOT STAY HERE OVERNIGHT.  It's a simple thing.  Do it.[/quote]
