[QUOTE="Step-monster, post: 649106, member: 18783"] Thank you all for your responses! I will continue to pray that my step son turns his life around. He has lived with us since he was two. I never had children of my own, but he could not have been more my child if I gave birth to him. I can't help but think if we pursued keeping his birth mother out of his life, things would not have turned out as they have. Her influence in his life has not helped him at all. But even I can not blame her for decisions he makes today. He is an adult. He creates his own baggage now. For so long I have thought "I must have done something for him to be this way!", "I was too hard on him, or I wasn't hard enough!" Thanks to this site I am beginning to realize there are many loving families out there with the same problem...they did their best, as did I, and they are going through the exact same thing I'm starting to realize.... It may not be me... Thank you all! [/QUOTE]
