My life is in termoil and I dont trust the decisions i make anymore. I'm in a marriage with six children. Three his, three mine. Throughout the years (11), and many fights and arguements it has become/been a family living together as two families. He emotionally cares for his and I for mine. Very Complicated... I love my children and it hurts me so bad that the only involvement he has with my kids is what kind of punishment they are going to receive when they get in trouble. Never does he ask how their day went or about what is going on in their life.
My son got in trouble with the police yesterday which leaves me feeling guilty, hopless, angry and most of all totally alone with no emotional support. The only thing my husband had to say is "so, what is his punishment going to be"

Comments
I responded to your post on the Comments page. I'm still reeling from the similaries - I been with my husband 11 years as well. Is your 3 kids' dad still in the picture, visitation and so forth? My husband had a real hard time "sharing" my kids with their real dad. He wanted them to choose him over their dad. Do you have that situation? I really feel for you.
Exhausting Options
Annie - My computer or the site, not sure which, doesn't allow me to respond or post new discussions, so I am responding here. Anyway, I've read all the comments about your post. One suggested counseling. I think that that is an awesome idea. It will help. He's obviously lost, like many his age. Maybe you could contact NAMI or another mental health organization to get some names. The counseling will not only help your son but your relationship with him. My son is seeing someone and at the end of some of his sessions, I've been called in to talk. It's been a lifeline, and very helpful. I hope you can do this. Your son has it in him, he just doesn't know it yet. Working hard on a dairy farm...says something about him. Take care. Things will get better.
