We got this message from Aileen and it reads: Good morning. I have heard some of your segments on the show for Parental Confidential and I know a majority are featured around the trouble that parents go through with their kids. My husband and I have two kids, a 14 year old daughter and a 17 year old son. They are not the easiest teenagers. I will be straight forward and say they test our patience on the daily. My husband hasn't been himself in months. I don't want to go in depth about the details of our conversation but I will say what he has decided he cant be a dad right now and wants to separate himself from the family for a while. We have been together for the last 14 years and are not legally married but still refer to one another as husband and wife. We have a daughter together. My son I had with an ex who stepped out when he was born and my husband now has stepped in to take care of him since he was 3 years of age.I recently left town for 4 months. I have a job that requires me to travel from time to time and this is the longest I have ever had to be away from home and my family. My husband also works long hours and found out that our 14 year old daughter has been sexually active in our home when my husband goes to work. She doesn't listen to my husband or me. Our son was caught this school year with drugs and was also responsible for one of the crimes that took place in Rochester involving a stolen car. Things are spiraling and my heart is breaking. Over the last few years we kind of feel like we have been drowning and cant get control of our kids. The last 4 months I feel were the breaking point for my husband. He expressed he needs a break and wants to separate himself until he is emotionally and mentally stable. However long that takes he isn't sure he says.I just wanted to know if there is someone who has suggestions on how to piece a family back together. My husband use to love being a Dad but now has so much resentment towards the kids for what they've put us through. Even if my kids are hurting for whatever reason I feel like I am struggling to comfort them. I can use some help. Thank you!
