[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get that his son is a problem at the moment.  I get that you don't care.  But try to see if from your DH's perspective.  This is his child whom he loves just as much (if not more) than the child you two have.  If this was YOUR child you'd be singing a different tune, I bet.  His son needs help.  He will not get it on the street.  You can try to come to terms with this or divorce him.[/quote]

This "child" (20 year old, unemployed adult with an untreated mental illness) is refusing treatment and is violent. Is moving in with his dad, stepmom and younger half sibling considered "help" when he refuses professional help? I think if he were in therapy and actively working through his issues, all of DCUM would be telling OP to do everything she could for her stepson. [/quote]

OP here. If he lets us talk to his therapist and come to an understanding of appropriate treatment, and he’s compliant, and he passes drug tests, I’d be on board with a trial at our house. I’ve said that from the beginning.[/quote]

I’m sorry but I have to agree that you are insane to be even considering allowing this under any circumstances with a minor child in the house. (Your husband obviously is too, but he’s not the one writing for advice) Go IMMEDIATELY to a family lawyer and figure out what you have to do in order to prevent your husband from getting any kind of custody while he’s allowing a violent, psychotic drug abuser in his house. You HAVE to protect your child’s physical safety. I wish I could reach through the computer screen and shake you![/quote]
