[QUOTE="Malika, post: 557952, member: 11227"] Hello again, katt. Part of the problem is the fact that it is very hard to get an accurate feel of someone and someone's life over the internet. At first it did rather sound as if you had no sympathy or understanding for difficult child's reality and were just seeing things from your angle. Now you have explained more, you have set the record straight. Of course the reality is that it's not much fun being around difficult child... and it's not much fun being difficult child. All of us here, I would imagine, understand all too well how aggravating, difficult and frustrating a difficult child's condition is. I suppose it's just a bit different when that is mixed in with general affection, concern and love. Put up or shut up is a very crude kind of sentiment but... in a way, I feel as if that is your only choice. Either you do have to accept the situation in some essential way - and why not try to improve it? - or decide that the best but sad course is to leave it. For myself, I certainly feel violent video games and poor diet would have an exacerbating effect on your partner's son's poor behaviour. It's a sensitive issue, of course, trying to change that... you could do so only discreetly, I suppose, but why not try to have a positive influence if you can? I for one am not blaming you. It's just that it sounds like your partner has been dealt something of a raw deal and is rising to the occasion admirably. Take care. [/QUOTE]
