[QUOTE="DDD, post: 588863, member: 35"] Even without the "Marine" aspect it is really, really hard to cope with what you are sure is an inappropriate coupling. I honestly "thought" that I had provided the right degree of support to my easy child and his SO who due to an expected baby were headed "down the aisle". It has been over twenty years and somehow I "blew it". In retrospect I honestly don't think that I "blew it"...........but..........it was blown. I loved that son with all my heart. Circumstances came about that he evidently believed he had to choose. Sigh. She agreed to have the children that he wanted to have and to become involved in a common religion. He is still a easy child BUT his wife hs managed to keep him from having contact with his family. Heartbreak. Now, sigh, I have my grandson who is enmeshed with a woman who ALSO wants him to HERSELF. Based on past experience we have kept our mouths shut and "welcomed" her into the family It is not enough. Sigh. I am 72 and I still don't understand how a "lover" "mate" can undermine decades of a loving relationship. It can and does happen. It's an itch but no good comes from trying to stop the train barrelling down the track. Do your best to role play...it may work. Hugs DDD [/QUOTE]
