I would totally agree with this post. Although your son may be depressed, he probably is not stupid, and can see his Mother as an enabler and divider between you and your wife. He will most likely continue to exploit this divide to his benefit, knowing that no matter how mad you get or what you say, that Mom will come to the rescue. That has to stop.

My guess is that you are going to have to do some major compromising on your own in order to get your wife on the same page with you. That said, once the both of you are truly on the same page and will support one another, the task of outlining a plan to your son will be much easier.
