I showed him the email I sent, and their responses back to me. He was NOT happy with their part in it or the part where I said if he sided with them he could also leave with them. But he cooled down toward me after I explained.

So anyway, for tonight, we're ont he same page about this. Here's hoping it stays this way.
My husband is like that too with our son. He doesn't want him mad at him. I say "too bad." I have a responsiblity to God to raise him the best I can with what I know. I won't break that promise because my son might get mad at me. It takes more energy, physical and emotional to be angry than it does to be happy.

I'm glad you two were able to talk. It's a first step. Just keep the lines of communication open with your husband and tell him at the first sign of more frustration instead of waiting on it to build. I've been saying a prayer for you nightly and I wish you the best. It'll happen....I'm sure of it.
