CS ouch!!! I can relate to your life as the same things happen around here but kind of reverse as my Florida Daughter just called and everytime a phone call from my kids it's not good either. Today it's that she divorcing her husband as she succceful and doesn't want to lose everything to a husband that has a drinking problem and DUI's as well and lies about the drinking. I always thought when kids grew up it was a great thing and set you free no not at all. She's offered to pay to send him to addictions and he refuses. This babble hole has left me empty as well and depressed. Guess what I found out I've never really been depressed always anxiety which has now turned inward. I sincerely wish you the best and your DH in seeking help for him and that she accepts help too. Too be locked up and no keys is a jail sertence for your step-daughter. She went to a couple of sesssion with a T was it a good fit for her. Sounds like her Mom is in a position to finanacially contribute. How does she feel about what's going on. Very painful week. And yes babble is real. And so is depression. Didn't you once offer that she attend conselling with her Father? Guess that didn't pan out. Sometimes a man feels he doesn't need conseling they like to fix things for others but he can't fix the situation nor his Daughter. Glad you have the good relationship with your therapist you do and may she help you accept or offer suggestions . I don't know what else to say except sorry for your pain. Love Phillipa
