[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 603602, member: 15799"] I agree with MWM. You need to back off for awhile. It sounds like he's got some things going on that he's not getting any help dealing with AND now he has this woman that "doesn't like me". He is going to need time to accept that you're even there, in HIS home with HIS dad and trying to "ruin" HIS life. You are trying to change waaaay too much waaaaaaay too fast and it isn't even your responsibility. Trying to change what could easily seem to him to be everything about him would kill anyone's self-esteem. I can just imagine the messages going through his head. You REALLY really need to back off and just let him be. If it's that concerning, have DAD take him to a child psychologist. I highly suggest you read the book The Explosive Child by Ross Greene. For me, it helped me see other ways to interpret my son's behavior and taught me how to dig for the reasoning behind the others of his behaviors. By doing that, I learned that my difficult child 1's behaviors made complete sense and I had to learn to think differently. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
