[QUOTE="JMom, post: 757521, member: 19892"] HL29, I agree with the others in that your husband is protecting you and the younger kids. I let my son come into the home several times and he chose bad behavior over and over. As my younger girls grew up, they resented me for not protecting them from his choices. We have all healed from it, but it took years for them to see that I loved them too. They had depression and anxiety because their needs were not being met. Your son will be ok. He is grown and I fear you taking him in erases consequences. It will be hard, but this is a good opportunity to teach him to make a way for himself. If you step in, you tell him it's ok to get into trouble because you will bail him out, in spite of the personal cost to you, your husband and your other children. He made those choices and if the consequences are great enough, he might choose to do better. I am praying for your son, you and your family. Hugs, JMOM [/QUOTE]
