[QUOTE="rc606, post: 637880, member: 18472"] I've learned that yelling at him doesn't work and just escalates the situation. I don't ever want to hurt my son, but if it ever got physical he knows I would handle him quite easily. That's the reason he never gets aggressive with me, there's a fear factor I suppose. That isn't something that my wife has in her favor, she's tiny. Besides that, she is his stepmom and he is so disrespectful to her it's not funny, except for when I'm present. The sad part is that she does EVERYTHING. For him and has loved him like one of her own for 10yrs now. I fear that my mistake in ALL of this was being too easy on him in the year after his Mom passed, and now he doesn't feel as if I'm in a position of authority over him. I don't know anymore... As for what my wife would do, she'd call the police immediately. [/QUOTE]
