[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, is he an idiot in all aspects of his life or does he excell professionally? He might have executive function/impulse control deficits or he is just not bright...[/quote]

He does his job well.  Anything other than book smarts, forget it. It is like having two full time jobs, plus the kids, plus a paying full time job. Damage control is real. Sometimes I feel worn to a nub, like when week two of this water thing started.  I should have just told the pros to install it that day, and be done with it. I realize I can not defer to him, as he is constantly making a situation much, much, much, much worse than it has to be. It feels like he thinks fo it as a sport. It is difficult, because he has to fight about anything, just to make a point.   The stubborn is like nothing I have ever seen - combine that with lack of common sense and control issues, and you have an enormous mess.  Plus, his parents back him up, because he wants to try to emulate them and their world is their world, and nobody better ask any questions.....

I can not for the life of me imagine growing up this way, with an entire household full of this type of person, plus a checked out parent, plus a physically MIA parent.  It is getting worse as he gets older.  I wrote everything in an email, so that he might see it in black and white.  Anything to try to get through this.  Which wouldn't be so bad, if it wasn't always something  taking my time and energy. I get that life happens, but not everything should be made an obstacle course. [/quote]
