He told you this morning? What's happened?
Question Author
Dont know, still hoping its all a sick joke. He refued to spk to me when he got up . I kept asking him why he wouldnt then eventually he started telling me to F off again. saying he was sick of feeling like the lodger in MY house. ( I have been trying to get him on the lease for months)Say he is sick of me backing my son up and that if im not careful he will turn in to a gobby sodding hooligan always in trouble, like him older brother. (that bit is true about his brother who doesnt live here).says he doesnt need it anymore and is leaving.... and left.
Question Author
I dont know what to do. I asked hm to pleas not go several times but made no difference. Quite how Im meant to go to sodding work now I dont know
Idiot!!!

Don't be too upset just yet. It sounds like he's having a tantrum.

Have just read the original post, so sorry for you, but it sounds to me as if your husband was looking for an excuse to blow up and now leave. Ummm was spot on with her advice.
Don't go to work... lick your wounds and see what happens if he calms down and gets back in touch then you can talk but I wouldn't pursue him. Lots of things going on including feeling second best to your son... which he will be ... no partner would come ahead of a child in my book. Maybe lots of external stress, but sounds like he behaved really disproportionately which may mean he is suffering from depression or is heading for a bit of a breakdown or he could just be showing his true colours ... this may be a wait and see what happens for a bit situation.
Or it could be that he doesn't talk about his feeling and this has been festering for some time. It's out there now. It has to be dealt with xx

ok very briefly - hubbies dad bullied my both pysically and mentally at almost the same age strangely. He doesnt know how to act towards a boy as he has never has a son, and he is incredibly strict. Knowing how his dad was i do worry that he will go that was and so yes maybe i do often step in coz i am worried a silly row will get out of hand. but now i dont know what to do. once he says he will do something he will normally do it. So I am fully expecting him to come home and pack a bag tonight. i feel physically sick. Son IS going through a stroppy phase I agree, but really didnt think he did anything wrong lastnight. And all this after a lovely valentines day last wk......
don't know the details, but sending love! x
Question Author
Actually he doesnt talk about his feelings at all. Its like he has been the only man in the house and now this little boy is almost as tall as him with a full blown personality, and he doesnt like it. Thank god I onl;y have to wotk for a couple hours. Please keep posting anything that may help so i can see when I get back. I feel stuck trying to please the two of them
His behaviour suggests this has been on his mind for some time. He's just reached breaking point, which happens when you don't talk about your feelings.

Saying that, you can't be expected to pussy foot round him. He had a hard time with his Dad...he's had a hard time with his Ex....that is neither yours or your sons fault.
sorry to hear this smowball, maybe he feels inadequete in the role of dad because of his previous failed relationship and his lack of voice in his current relationship with you.

parenthood is about striking a balance, you may feel more protective as he is your son and it could be that your more laid back style and his more firmer style are at odds. I think he needs to know you support him. teenagers are a pain, sometimes and they do tend to push the boundaries, you have to be united and adopt a more together approach.

maybe you need to involve him more in family decisions?
I agree with Cazzz.
Question Author
I do involve him but he never wants to do any activity wen his daughter isnt here, which is hardly ever. Son will suggest footie - no, the wii - no, always says he is busy so son gives up. Everything is either black or with him. Am going now but gona try and c if i can pick up answers on my BB.

Keeep my chin up for me u lot xx
With the rule that if he finds himself getting that angry again he doesn't storm of but asks you to discuss it with him. Because of his back ground it may be he would benefit from counselling including some anger management as he doesn't sound like his coping mechanisms are very healthy
Question Author
you're right rw - thinking about it he does bottle everything up, not healthy.
Sounds like he's keeping your son at arms length. It's the reason why you need to ascertain.
having been hurt deeply in the past maybe he does not want to allow himself to develop feelings and get attached incase he is hurt again. he must have serious trust issues
Alpha male conflict Son is getting some of the benefits of an alpha male in that he appears to be favoured by the senior female.. the older male is reacting to this... basically they are behaving like apes and I don't mean this in a derogatory way Lots of chest beating going on
