[quote=Anonymous]My husband is a step dad to my irresponsible grown son. It was hard. My son manipulated me, only called when he wanted money, had a run in with assault charges, which were dropped after paying lawyers. My son stinks a lot of the time. But I still want him to be okay. But here's the thing. I thought this was a phase, and that my son will grow up. I wasn't trying not to support my spouse. I was trying to have everyone be able to come out of this and stand up straight. However, I am saying no most of the time, and letting him experience the consequences of his decisions. I do not let my spouse deal with him any more. My son is a grown man, and my spouse doesn't like who he is. It's hard on me, my son's dad died when he was seven. I worked so much I was barely home. So yes, I have guilt. Yes, I compensate for that guilt. I have to believe it will all end up as it should, and my son is the captain of his own ship. It's hard to watch.[/quote]
