If my husband had a son who didn't like me and had no respect for me whatsoever and expected me to uproot my life to accommodate him, I wouldn't be having any of it.

And when you are compromising in extremis like this you are not living.

Some would say, he's an adult, let him sort himself out, his own place etc. But, it's always hard when it's a family member who needs help.
