Hi, I have two teenage children (16 and 18) and have been in a relationship with someone who until recently I thought was wonderful. We've all been living together for a couple of years and he's always had a problem with my son's behaviour - smoking etc. This year it's begun to get to my son, who's unemployed and stressed because he hasn't been able to find a job. He had a few rants at my partner, and after one my partner called the police because he said he was being threatened. I didn't think this was fair and we argued about it. My son went and stayed with a friend for a couple of months and came back last week - partner and I had been going to counselling and it had been agreed he should come back part time. Late that night my partner shouted really loudly to my son and daughter to be quiet, and my son came out of his bedroom with a bread knife thinking partner was threatening me. Partner called the police again and son was taken away by police. We hear next week if son will be charged with affray. I've moved into a spare bedroom and hardly spoken to partner since, and feel completely stuck - I love my son and am standing by him because he didn't threaten partner with a knife, was just thinking he was protecting me - but until this year I was also really happy with partner and am desperately sad that our relationship is now likely to end. Any thoughts and advice much appreciated.
