Our 34 year old son is getting worse again after the attempt he made to end it all. Now he thinks the answer is to move in with us away from the wife and four kids. I know, then, that there would be fighting on the phone and here, and she would, of course, be dumping the four kids off on us. I know that our marriage cannot survive this. We have had enough, and I can't deal with four kids one night a week and every other weekend. We only have three bedrooms and a small house. I am losing it myself today. Neither one of us slept last night at all and I am a wreck. I am going to talk to son today and tell him we cannot do this. I am just done for!!!

You need to listen to your gut level insticts! Hold on to that and assert the Big No Way, I'm usually blunt, but it works. My prayers are with you and God Speed with your son. He might want to deal with other Mental Health Groups like NAMI and his wife can participate too. Who knows it may make their relationship better.

I'm sorry you have to deal with this.. I know its hard to have to turn him away....but there has to be some kind of boundary...
Good Luck! I hope it all works out... Faith

I'm so sorry your son is worse and also that he wants to move in with you. If you can't do this, then you can't do this! Don't feel guilty about it, as you have your health and your sanity to take care of.
Besides, I hate to say it but your son probably would not try to get better if he has you taking care of him. Be firm and let him know that it just won't work. Please keep us posted as we care what happens and it will also help you to talk about it. Take care and sending lot's of "hugs" your way!! (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((CJR520))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) Linda

Son may very well be choosing another woman over his family and moving to another state. I do love him and want happiness for him, but I am also angry at what this is doing to the four kids. Only time will tell! Hubby and I are on the kids side!!!
