How can I get him to understand our family (him, our son, and me) is the most important thing and that he needs to quit being a bitch? Reply to this Question Share |

reader, anonymous, writes (15 November 2007): My step dad is like this. But he is also an alcoholic. Is your husband into drugs or alcohol? I ask that b/c ppl. lose thier sense of self worth when they're on drugs & alcohol. He needs to get to the bottom of his issue here. Why does he do that? He needs counseling, and I would suggest family counseling. My step dad goes to the bar every day after work and buys people drinks..He spends most of his income on other people. My mom works hard delivering mail, and he lives in her home. She puts up with a lot, but just think if he had spent all that money on something that would help them both, instead of pissing it away on fake friends. Suggest family counseling. But if like you said, it goes in one ear & out the other it might take a scare like you leaving for a while to straighten him up. My step dad got a divorce after 30 yrs. of marriage, I don't know why but I assume it had to do with his drinking..but he didn't change he just went on to the next woman (my mom) that would put up with his behavior. I hope this isn't the case with your husband.
