[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 729307, member: 13303"] UN, you have a lot going on. Do you have a therapist or even a trusted friend in real life with whom you can vent, sort out your thoughts and bounce some ideas around? At the risk of being too forward, it sounds to me that you have an issue in your marriage as much if not more so than with your son. The steps you are suggesting are very, very drastic. I don't doubt that you love your wife very much, but something is very wrong if you are willing to leave the household in order to escape your eldest son. Also at the risk of being too forward, please don't make the mistake of assuming 18 is the magic number after which your son will never trouble you again. If he struggles to launch - which given his profile he likely will - and knows his mom will bail him out, even behind your back if necessary, then his presence in your life will continue. Sad to say, but it sounds from where I sit that to achieve what you are seeking you may need to divorce your wife and file for custody of your two younger children based on the danger posed to them by their brother, which your wife won't address. I would contact a lawyer sooner rather than later. This sounds like a potentially very explosive situation. [/QUOTE]
