[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 415990, member: 6705"] From another stepmom... This child has been through a LOT, it sounds like. And your DF not being there - well, I'll be honest with you, it sounds like the boy has abandonment issues. 1) Bio mom in and out - no schedule to it, he never knows. 2) Step mom checking out. 3) Dad barely home. How long have you been with DF? I'll be honest... If you are scared? DF needs to step up, I know he's working a lot to make things better for the family, but it is [I]his responsibility[/I]. It's a "joke" with my husband that if I had known what I was getting into, I would have run - screaming. It's a joke... But it's not. Do you really want to marry into this mess? I'm not trying to be rude, or say you made the wrong choice - because look at me! By the time I married husband, I had a small taste of this, and was too stubborn to back down. I love husband and the kids. I wouldn't be able to stay otherwise. But it's NOT EASY. Hell, it's the single most difficult thing I have ever faced in my life. {{{{{HUGS}}}}} I'm serious, get DF on the same page. [I]He[/I] needs to take charge - or this will just get worse. been there done that. [/QUOTE]
