[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 523463, member: 1550"] I would be one of them. If you didn't have a younger son, I may not say so, but your son could be in a lot of danger. Although we adopted our seriously sick child at age 11, when he was put into a juvinile detention center for young sexual predators (none of which anyone knew about before my kids admitted it after he was gone), he admitted he had been perping on younger kids since he was five years old. Please don't underestimate what he could be doing to your son, especially since he is a target. There is no shame in leaving a relationship to save your child. You are going to have a hard time helping these two kids, if t hey can ever be helped. Nobody knows exactly what they went through before you got them and I wouldn't count on BM to tell you what he lifestyle was really like...she may have had strange men in and out of their lives constantly, and one of them or more could have sexually abused him. It is traumatizing for any child to be afraid of a larger sibling. It is easy to feel sorry for those kids, but they are you sig. other's responsibility. in my opinion your child comes first. If you are prepared to watch this stepson 24/7, stay. If not, you are endangering your own child because you don't know what he is capable of doing...and it is sad and scary to find out after the fact. IF you are willing to watch him all the time and put an alarm in his bedroom even at night so that he can't leave his room without alerting one of you, then DO STAY. They need kind of an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) setting at home. Know what I mean?? JMO (((more huggz))) [/QUOTE]
