[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 629273, member: 15801"] I think the step relationships are complicated. I think you and your husband need to get some help looking at the roles of each of you in regards to your son. It sounds like your husband wants to step into the authoritarian parent role who sets some rules for your son.... but given that your son was 17 when you got married your son is not going to see him in that role. And your husband may not love your son... he came into his life in a major way when there were already issues. We all love our difficult children partly because we knew them when they were small and that love grew and although at times now we might not like them very much we have a lot of history. So your husband is not going to feel about your son the way you do. So I think you and your husband need to get some good therapy to clarify the issues between you and figure out roles and boundaries. I think it is imperiative that you do this and I hope your husband will agree to it. TL Sent using ConductDisorders mobile app [/QUOTE]
