[QUOTE="Lila256, post: 722351, member: 22431"] I don't have any answers, but I just wanted to let you know that I completely understand the stress you are going through. I actually come to this situation from the stepmother role, though mine was much more involved for a much longer period of time trying to help his father figure out what to do and how to get him help. We went through all of the same things you are going through (even the dodgy communication issues with the other parent!) and much worse for over five years trying to find answers. Toward the end (before we let the state take custody), it got to the point where I felt I needed to make an ultimatum to his father that he either needed to move out to continue trying to help his son (and I made it very clear I wouldn't be mad at him or judge him at all because it's his son) or his son needed to leave our home. However, this was after his son had repeatedly assaulted him and then attempted to take his life, so there was a little more clear and present danger forcing our hand. This is such a yucky, stressful situation to go through and my heart goes out to both you and your wife. [/QUOTE]
