[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 729138, member: 13303"] Hi there UN40 and welcome. I feel your pain and frustration through the interwebs. I have a violent 17 year old stepson who is thankfully, not in our custodial care. He has actually chosen to sever all ties with us, and to be frank, our lives are much happier and more peaceful without his toxic presence. I so wish I had some advice to offer but all I have is empathy. If you and your wife are not on the same page with the next steps, that makes the situation all the harder. I agree that your focus should be on your younger children and their safety, along with your own. It sounds like your son has made you his scapegoat and it doesn't seem like the two of you can interact positively at the moment (because of his actions; it sounds like you are doing everything as close to perfectly as possible). Given his anger and hostility toward you, I would suggest letting him stay with your wife, if it comes down to two households, and you take the two younger children. He could make a false accusation and if it was just the two of you it would be your word against his. I am so very sorry you are dealing with this. Does he have an IEP for an emotional disability? He can't just be thrown out of school with no educational options. Was he given an alternative program? Many hugs to you. [/QUOTE]
