[QUOTE="Mirabelle, post: 762785, member: 28712"] Thank you Busy. I needed that. And I know that. I just needed someone to tell me again. I fear we will be dealing with this for the rest of our lives. We go to NarAnon. I read the book and practice the steps. I get frustrated with my husband because we have done everything we can.......therapist, NarAnon, meditation, spending quality peaceful time together.......and he is still very vulnerable to his son. His son gets kicked out or walks out of his latest housing situation and my husband has a stress headache that lasts a week - a week! He gets so tired from being filled up with worry that sometimes he can't remember what we did the night before (no matter what it is - staying in or going out). My husband holds firm on boundaries but doing so is tearing him up. And his son absolutely positively could not care less. I feel my husband won't use the tools we are learning about and just stays mired in the pit. I am afraid this will put him in an early grave. :):) [/QUOTE]
