[QUOTE="Peace Please, post: 415999, member: 11492"] Oh yeah, this child has been through MORE than a lot. I'm SURE he has abandonment issues that don't make the other issues any better. Don't worry about sounding rude StepTo2. I have thought the same things myself. I know it sounds like a lot to take on for me, but I have talked it over with my DF, and he and I are on the same page. We have been together for almost a year. He supports me a lot when he's not here, and completely takes over when he is here to give me a break. If the child is going to be home for a few days in a row and my DF has to work, he arranges for his family members to take the kid to make it easier on me. If things get out of hand when he's at work and I do have the child, he calls me and talks to his son. He is much better at diffusing the situation than I am since he has dealt with this for thirteen years. The problem is that the strategies we've been using don't seem to be making the situation any better. We have been together for almost a year. My DF was very honest about his son when we got together. I love them both very much, and I just want to help make the situation better, and get help for the 13 year-old. I don't want to be like the other women in his life and walk away. I really need some other strategies that have worked for other people. [/QUOTE]
