[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 256313, member: 1545"] Hi cakewalk and welcome to you! Glad you are able to take a little emotional break from the drama. Sounds like everyone needs it. I think Suz makes a good point about giving everything (and everyone) a little time to chill out. Don't make any snap decisions. My daughter left home twice when she decided our rather minimal rules didn't suit her liking. When she came home the 2nd time, we told her, in no uncertain terms, that we did not run a hotel. We did not have a revolving front door. And we were supporting the "Three strikes and your out" rule. That is, if she chose to leave home the 3rd time - it was permanent. Just food for thought. What sort of mental illness runs in the kids family trees? I would seriously consider the family counseling. With or without your son. Adolescence is tough. Step parenting is tough. Blended families are tough. Extended family dysfunction is tough. You might find some family therapy refreshing and really helpful. Welcome aboard. [/QUOTE]
