Really having ss20 here is going fairly well considering all the facts involved. One thing I notice is that ss20 has little to zero patience with his dad's new what I call "chemo brain". Dh does not intentionally forget things or say things that make no sense and I let it go and DH figures out eventually that he is talking nonsense or saying things that are not accurate or just a bit off, but ss20 is on to DH every time he slips up and correcting him constantly like he is a child. Yesterday being Sunday and everyone home all day (including me since it was my day off) I nearly went bonkers for awhile and finally said to ss to lay off and just let DH talk and ignore it if he has to or for gods sake go outside or go do something with friends or whatever, but leave dh the hell alone. Ss finally left to go to friends and peace settled down over our home again until he got home in the evening, but by then dh and I were watching what we wanted to watch and screw what ss wanted us to watch. I nipped that in the bud the first night he was here, he tried telling us about new shows etc. and I said no we like to watch what we like to watch, you got a problem with that you can go watch netflix on your iphone.

:jawdrop: Blak, I do not like my skids.

The skid could be correcting his dad as a defense mechanism. It is very hard to see your parent as weak, it brings all those scary fears about losing a parent to the forefront. Sad Sorry it is so rough.

Thanks ladies, I did what I felt was best to support the man I love. I don't like or love my ss but I know dh needed to do this for his kid. Simple as that, but not easy.
