things are tense at home due to my DS living with us again after 4yrs at uni. This is short term- but could last another 6-7 months whilst he gets some cash together. My DH and I have always had issues- mine really as I have never been 100% sure he was the "one" for me - but I have struggled on for years, mainly for the sake of the kids.
my DS can be horrible at times- terrible temper and very argumentative. Today, he was shouting at me - and me to him- and then when DH walks in, DS says to him "She is just so angry with everyone..." in a very sarcastic voice - trying to get DH on side.
This happens constantly- DS trying to get DH to side with him against me. And what does DH do? usually ignores him, or says very quietly, "don't talk about you mum like that". DS does not take much notice and carries on being rude etc etc to me.
I am at the end of my tether as I feel DS is trying to drive a wedge between me and DH- which isn't too difficult!- but my DH doesn't really put him in his place, imo.
Am I over-reacting?
