[QUOTE="SnowAngel, post: 89256, member: 4010"] Stepmom, I would repost with a new topic. You will probably get more advice that way. In the subject line put question, how do I handle this? Then type away. I am sure more members will give you suggestions. I know being a stepmom is hard (I am not one, but have dealt with 2) and overwhelming. You all three need to communicate with open ears..easier said then done I know. If you are always the one concerned it isn't going to help your stepson. Dad & mom need to understand whats going on and get him the help he needs. My ex & I went back and forth with the "blame game" and we never got anywhere. I felt like a never ending tornado. One day I told him enough of this. It doesn't matter where they got this from, they have it and we need to deal with it. For many of us it is hard to face that our kids have a problem. Maybe we did something wrong or it was our genetics that gave it to them. I think many of us have dealt with the guilt that goes with raising a difficult child. I am not sure if this is why your husband & his ex cant or wont see whats going on, but something needs to happen. Most disorders without treatment and support get worse. The emotional toll it causes on a marriage is usually not repairable in most cases. [/QUOTE]
