Advice Between Friends

Dear Frustrated Mom!
Motherhood comes with so many challenges, and sometimes we don't expect one of the challenges to be our husband! Not only do you sound frustrated, but tired. Tired of trying to fix a relationship between your husband and son. Just this in itself can lead to great frustration. Mainly, because you cannot fix it. This is not yours to fix. It's your husbands.
My advice? Learn to respect your husband. If you don't respect your husband, how do you expect your children to? Maybe you don't verbalize how you feel about him to your children, but it comes across loudly in your tone, looks, and actions. Children are very adept at picking up on this. I picked up on it immediately just from your letter.
Life happens, and sometimes a spouse will go through changes that causes the other to lose respect and look down upon them for one reason or another. These are the times when you need to hang in there, remember what attracted you in the first place, and be a friend. Lift him up, remind him why you love him, continue to do things that you would probably do for a girlfriend if she was acting this way. Just DON'T OWN IT! You're only there to help him remember why you respect him so much. Once you do this, you'll notice a change in your son and how he treats his father. But it begins with you. And it will always be this way.... accept it.
Good luck
