Done

Bravo, you did do the right thing. Steel yourself to have to discuss it over and over. Appeal to his better nature, remind him how awful he would feel if someone were hurt or killed.

I am sorry you are having a hard night.

So difficult, so many losses to grieve along the way.

I've been mostly successful declaring I'm the new chauffeur and reminding my LO that I'm willing to go when and where my LO desires. After a few days, my LO actually commented that it's nice to not drive and watch the scenery. Now, after 2 months, she's the designated DJ and rarely walks to the drivers side when we get in the car.

Best of luck and much kindness to you as you navigate these new turbulent waters of life.

Just smile and breathe. Acknowledge the losses and kep coming from love.

Losing driving privilege is always a tough hurdle. I was able to convince my DH that we didn't need 2 cars and our grandson needed his. He gave his to our grandson's and has never asked to drive mine. That's over 2 years ago.

Absolutely one of the toughest things I've ever had to do. I remember when I trusted his driving so much that I fell asleep on long, late drives home. Sigh. You did the right thing for yourselves, and also for others. If your DH drove he could injure or even end the life of someone completely innocent.

M5M, you hit the nail on the head for me, too. My DH doesn't miss driving so much per se as the freedom to go wherever, whenever. I've already suggested a drive today. Who knows where? It probably doesn't matter.

Thank you for taking this difficult step. You made it safer for all of us, your LO included.

You've given us all a gift.
