[QUOTE="WhymeMom?, post: 62331, member: 53"] Something you may have to consider is trying to step parent a child with a conduct disorder....it's difficult at best for a bio parent and many marriages/relationships are tested to the point of breaking...... Making this decision for yourself is fine in my book as long as you are going in with your eyes open.....making the decision for your son to live with this chaos is not good in my mind. If the 6 yr.old is unmanageable now, it will be twice as bad when he hits his teens....just a warning. Is your signicant other actively seeking help for his son or is he leaving that with you? If his son's behavior gets worse would he be willing to send son to a place for residential treatment? Growing up with a bipolar step sibling will have a great impact on your son's childhood.....its up to you to decide if you want to go further down the road with this, but I would tread carefully and put my son before the relationship with this man... This is only my opinion and if you have the fortitude to deal with this child good luck. Perhaps your involvement will help him....just my 2 cents.... [/QUOTE]
