Father Is Concerned Because His Son Looks Nothing Like Him And Gives Him A DNA Test

He eventually told his parents he’ll be coming over from time to time to check up on them (he is their only child) and not to bother coming over anymore until she apologizes. She wasn’t amused. She told me I am taking her son away and some “wh_re” would take my son too. She is not someone that you can talk to, I’ll tell you that much. It’s like talking to a wall. All she knows is insulting or being passive-aggressive on a good day.

We’re not getting a divorce. We talked the day after. He said I can always file for a divorce, but we should at least try couples counseling because he doesn’t want to co-parent.

[ Edit: He doesn’t want to lose his son, plain and simple. Although it’s not like if we were to get divorced he wouldn’t be able to see his son, but whatever.

He did say, when we talked the second time, that he can see how he was wrong, especially knowing his mother. He also mentioned that he’ll just shut her down if she meddles this time. But what can I do with just words? I hope he can learn a thing or two on how to deal with his mother in counseling because she is truly overwhelming.]

If counseling would help him understand that a couple means two people, not three, and our marriage is a bit crowded right now. That’s enough for me.

People saying that I am overreacting in my last post made me ask myself, do I actually want a divorce or am I just mad? I wanted the divorce at the time; it seemed like the only solution. But if counseling would help us, I can try to work things out.
