Thanksgiving is in 2 days and my children and I, my husband and his children are out of state spending Thanksgiving with his family. My 11 years old ADHD son cussed and so my husband wanted to punish him by leaving him alone in the car while we run into the store. I refused to leave my son in the car by himself, especially in an unfamiliar state to us and plus my son was already feeling bad as it is. My husband got really upset, told everyone to get in the car and drove us back to his mothers house, dropped me and my kids off at his mother's while he and his kids go explore. For 2 days, he has not included us in their plans. We've stayed at his mothers. I feel so abandoned. He claimed he's not mad but he has gave me and my son the silent treatment to very moment and you know what hurts the most? My son, not knowing when to stay away from people when he should tried to mend things with my husband the next day by trying to play catch with my husband and his son. As I watched from the window, all I could see is my son waiting and running after the ball when it was thrown off to the side, but no where did my husband bothered to even throw the ball my son's way. We got here Sunday and Today is only Tuesday, Thanksgiving is Thursday and well, I'm contemplating on getting a flight back home to spend time with my family, the people who I know loves us unconditionally. My days have been so long, I don't know how I can stay any longer here while he ignore us in his family's home. At this point I don't even know if this marriage should go on any longer.

Hello Anonymous,
Welcome to EmpowHER> I am glad you reached out to our community for support and advice.
I am truly sorry to hear about this. My heart goes out to your son, and you. This must be very difficult.
The decision to leave or stay is yours to make. Has this type of situation happened before? Prior to this how has the relationship been between your husband and son?
Personally, I would want to be with people who love me, whom I love, and show love,especially during a holiday.
We are here for you,
