[QUOTE="Percy, post: 706179, member: 21263"] Yes, Mr. Percy was home. I woke him up when I smelled the pot. I told him that I was going to address the situation, and that I thought it better 1:1, because 2:1 usually escalates and makes it much worse. And my husband has been losing his cool (verbally) in frustration with him lately, whereas I have reached a new, calm space. Husband is also a deep sleeper, and wasn't fully awake, whereas I am a light sleeper, hear all during the night, and was already clearheaded. Dynamic with Son and Mr. P has been poor of late, although they have almost a non-existent relationship at this point. I work from home part time, and am the stay at home mom parent, so I end up having 90+% of the contact with Son, and have many, many, many more interactions with son. (negative and the rare positive interaction). So Mr. Percy was sitting in bed listening, bc I was nervous to get into it with son and wanted husband to be able to intervene if necessary, but I consciously said to Son "Do I have to wake your father up", so that Mr. P would know that I did not want him to come in and escalate the situation, that I was handling. (Or at least handling well enough). [/QUOTE]
