[QUOTE="Christy, post: 150907, member: 225"] Welcome to the board! You have gotten plenty of advice already but I'll add my two cents. I understand that you are in a difficult situation as step parents often are. Your stepson may well be manipulating the situation but he is in a tough situation as well. He is being shuffled between two families and it seems like his mom has started a new life and there is no room for him. Yes, he is not handling the situation well, but he's a kid. He needs support as well as discipline. You owe it to your wife to put forth 110% effort to make things work. A neurological evaluation, possibly medication, and family counseling are needed to make the situation better. I wish you and your family the very best, Christy [/QUOTE]
