[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 689012, member: 18958"] I see it differently. One, I think he is ready to disclose to the therapist about the porn. And maybe more. He wants to present it to himself, as instrumental. Like I only did it for the reward that I manipulated out of [I]them[/I]. My concern would not be so much about the manipulation--because after all it is not true manipulating. He is up front. It is more like an exchange. I would be more concerned about this friend. The thought crossed my mind that there might be some kind of sexual behavior with the friend. Like he is disclosing something in a roundabout and concealed way. In any event, the therapist should be told. Your stepson is way better off having verbalized this. By the way, I cannot understand your husband's refusal to believe [I]his[/I] son could manipulate like this. Just mine? I mean, your husband needs to prepare himself for what may come. Our kids are not served by our denial. Not mine. Not his. [/QUOTE]
