[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 209006, member: 84"] Welcome to the board. I ditto getting a copy of The Explosive Child. I can understand why you don't want to live together while your fiance's son is so out of control......and can understand why you're having 2nd thoughts about the engagment. It [B]does not[/B] make you a bad person. Parenting a difficult child is an enormous challenge for a bio parent who has done it from day one. It's an even bigger challenge for a step parent who is walking into the situation. Doesn't mean that it can't be done. Just that you're wise for really thinking hard before taking that leap. Is the child in treatment of any kind? Is it working? Is your fiance involved with the treatment program? (if not he might want to change that and become more pro-active) Tie a knot at the end of your rope and hold on. You've landed in the most wonderful place in the world. I stumbled in almost 10 yrs ago and have never left. lol :) ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
