[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 622595, member: 1550"] Did your stepson have a very chaotic life his first three years? Lots of caregivers coming and going, maybe witnessed or had abuse, did birthmom use drugs during her pregnancy or drink? You could be looking at attachment disorder, depending on how severe his behaviors are. These kids do act like and are sociopaths in the making and they can be dangerous to you, animals or other kids in the house, especially as they get older. I am always iffy about blaming the entire child's behavior on one parent. My guess is that your hub did wrong things too, like allow child to live in chaos or contribute to it, if it happened. How soon did he have to adjust to his dad remarrying? Did mom remarry? In no way do I think you caused it. I'm just curious in order to see if Dad and Mom were good about waiting a long time for the kids to process the breakup before jumping into another one...which can cause insecurity in the kids. Those early years are sooooooo important. Is your stepson in any way violent or dangerous to himself or others or animals? Does his father understand that he needs to seek treatment right away before the teen years kick in? If he won't acknowledge the problems, even though the school can even see it, the future is grim for your whole family. Most of the time these types of kids get even worse when the hormones kick in. I wouldn't leave him alone with your son. [/QUOTE]
