[QUOTE="robinm1922, post: 230406, member: 6423"] Hello and welcome to the board. Your dss sounds a lot like my daughter (difficult child) did before she was diagnosed. I am also remarried and my husband is wonderful but not as understanding with daughter as he is with me. I had to ask him to back a way so to speak and let me handle my daughter, she was very resistant to him and the more he got after her the worse she got. Since he has "stepped back" their relationship has gotten much better, not perfect but much better. I know it is really hard on my husband but at this point I didn't leave him a choice. If difficult child wasn't depressed with other issues then it may have been different. My thoughts are get your dss seen by a doctor and make sure he isn't depressed. He has a lot on his plate right now. A new home, new school, new mom, and old mom that doesn't want him any more and a new sister. Sounds like a lot for a teen to take in not to mention those raging hormones! I know you will find a ton of support here and a lot of telling it like it is. I think a lot of people can come at this from your dss prospective, that doesn't give him the right to be disrespectful to you but the correction needs to come from his dad. Counseling would be helpful for all of you but I would def get your dss checked out, like I said from the attitude to the slipping grades all the things my daughter went through before we found out she was depressed. Teen and children show depression much different than adults, more angry than sad. If you search teen depression you will be amazed how much info you will find and how much of it fits your dss. Best of luck please let me know if you take him and get him checked. Robin [/QUOTE]
