he has officially "filed for separation" from his parents!

how that works?

according to him, we will no longer respond to e-mails or voice-mails and no visitation will be allowed

until they make repairs to the other relationships they have ruined. If no progress is made, we will live w/o them

it is just not healthy for us (especially for the next 5 1/2 months...)

good for you!

did the same with his step mother

Good for him. I've said this before...it's the VDPs, man. You've got to cut them out.

VDPs are Very Draining People.

I hope that elivates some of your stress

it all works out for the best...no one needs that kind of stress

I don't know a lot of the back story, but sounds like he made the right decision
