[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 747804, member: 18958"] He's got you in a double bind. You're damned if you do. You're damned if you don't. If you leave him to do what he wants in your home, he may kill himself...on your dime. If you insist he leave, (your house, your rules) you will have to tolerate not knowing what he is doing and how he is. He is blaming you for trying to save his life. He wants you to watch as he flirts with extreme danger. In your house. And do nothing. How could you do that? This is so very scary. You did absolutely the right thing. Honestly. He is making the rules in your house. He's saying: [I]I get to do whatever I want. And you have to watch me do it. [/I] He's acting like he calls all the shots. Like he holds all of the power. That he has no responsibility for anything. I am getting infuriated just typing this. What many of us learn here is that we CAN"T get them to wake up. We can only wake up ourselves. Wake up to the fact that potentially we have significant power. It is our house. In our lives. As parents. To reclaim our voice and our authority. The major learning: We can change ourselves and our lives. We can protect ourselves and our homes. We can find our voices and and our core. It's not your fault. Welcome. [/QUOTE]
