Sometimes my husband hates when I worry about our son. If I say my worries out loud, he will say I shouldn't see our son because I am not capable of helping him. I have to be diligent about taking medications in order to keep my cool with our son but I can't stop helping him because as far as I can tell--I am the only one helping him. We didn't talk on the phone or speak yesterday--now I am worried about him.  |
Of course you want to see, and be in contact with, your son!
I really don't feel your H is being realistic.
I'd had a very troubled brother. I talked with him every day for many years. My mom struggled a bit when my stepfather would get after her for being involved with my brother. What's a mother to do? She'd finally just did what she'd felt led to do anyway. (My brother is now deceased and although staying in touch was stressful at times, I do not regret being there for him.)
I am sorry you are in this bind.
I hope your H will come to accept your need to be a mother and a friend to your son.
