[QUOTE="nomad78, post: 283313, member: 7620"] I am just the step dad, I have no biological children. I have been a part of this family for 3 years. The oldest girl is in collage (yay!) but still lives at home. My role in this family is as a provider and protector. I don't think that if I leave their mother will have any sudden clarity that makes her take action with the law against her son short of hurting someone. That being said, I think leaving would be selfish of me and put the rest of the family in greater danger. We have discussed the possibility of him setting me up for child abuse as he has threatened to so. I would not even be surprised if his father helped with it. I want to do the best I can for this family which includes the 14 yr old. All I have ever done is try to help him, and I do not want my work to be in vain. He might try to set me up for physical violence, or neglect, but never molestation. Leaving is not an option for me. I care to much. I just know there has to be something I can do to help that I have not tried yet. Tomorrow night we are suppose to drop him off at his fathers house overnight. I will take that opportunity to talk to his mom about a policy we can stick to about reporting his behavior to the authorities based on the severity of his offense. [/QUOTE]
