Did your stepson's therapist find out about the s. ideation, mentioned by your h?

In my opinion, what is good for the goose, needs to also be good for the gander. What's fair is fair.

Hamster gave good guidance, as to trying to sort out what lies behind your h's stance. More importantly, your needs are addressed in all this.

Yes, my daughter's room was converted and I have no idea why it's any of his ex-wife's business. Apparently the s is having a lot of distress about moving off to college in a few weeks. My husband and I don't think he's ready to go off, but he wants to. However, our home was never his primary residence and his room at his mom's home remains in tact... so... because we've had a lot of defiant control issues with the son, it's my opinion that he is just wanting to "win" this battle at all cost. He is a bit OCD and when he feels "wronged" he will do whatever to get his way. In this case, he still feels like he can win this battle and with the help of his mom, it's basically in the "bag" so to speak. I can't control his ex. only my husband can control her by not allowing her to control him through their son and guilt.
