Actually, I should have used the symbol at the end of my post as it too was in jest.

I also noticed there is someone on this forum who has a thread under the name Itallion_Stallion. Is your wife making posts now under the guise of a man?

As shown in your last thread, you lack such facilities to do so and will always get sucked into feeding that sort of thing. Just by the mere fact you're "trying to stop the drama" is getting/feeding into it.

I see that you failed to learn in your therapy sessions about disengagement. That is the true way of "stopping the drama". Just admit it, you thrive off of this family dysfunction because it makes you feel like and think that you are a wise calm man.

Based solely on this thread, I don't see it as "drama" a little more than a light hearted look at his wife's reaction to his son's girlfriend, which is a lot like many mom's reaction to their son's dating preferences.
Ease up.

In your shoes I would do whatever I could: to encourage the boy to grow up and get his own place so you can have some peace and quiet.

Ease up.
Given to how cruel the wife was to the son when it suited her, there's absolutely nothing "light hearted" about this family.

So your tips are, stay away, don't get involved, let things work themselves out, and go to counseling?

Link the thread in your post if you feel it is somehow relative to this thread.

There's actually 2 separate threads (both closed), and it went beyond 300 pages... I don't know if you have the patience for that.

Look into the OP's history, as the supermajority of his posts is contained in them... it's there.
