[QUOTE="bran155, post: 231151"] Hello and welcome. I can understand completely what you are going through with your son and his step-father. My husband is not the biological father to my difficult child either. In the beginning it was very hard for him to understand that she could not just "behave". He like your husband thought she should just be able to control herself because we are the parents and we told her to. I wish it was that easy. We have been together for 10 years. My daughter has put us through the ringer, she has been 10 handfuls!!!! I used to fight with my husband constantly in defense of my daughter's illnesses. It took quite some time for him to understand and truthfully I still think he has trouble grasping the idea that my daughter just can't help some of her behaviors. I dragged him to every meeting at the school, at the hospitals, therapists, court and where ever else I was warranted to go. I asked him to read books and pamphlets that would explain in detail what my daughter goes through. He has since made great strides. He tries. Maybe you could get your husband to come along for the meetings and learn about your childs needs. It helps to know exactly what you are dealing with. If he was educted maybe he would be more understanding. Good luck and God bless. :) [/QUOTE]
