[QUOTE="amy76lee, post: 220635, member: 6469"] Susie, Your situation sounds so much like mine...only my SOs difficult child has brought his father to his breaking point...I was there a long time ago. SO's oldest who lives with us is 13...then he has an 11 y/o and I have an 8 y/o. My 8 y/o is difficult child 2...only not quite as bad. I believe that difficult child 1's behavior rubs off on her which influences her to be more difficult child than my easy child! Anyway, ur difficult child sounds to me like he's doing alot of "normal" things...believe it or not, the piercing is normal right now among these older teens...even kids into their 20s! I have a sister who is 20 and she's doing it all too and she's a easy child... I whole heartedly agree with you about the responsibility though. And, from one step monster to another...I think you really need to have ur SO's backing on that. You enforcing it on your own may not yield the results you hope for. I wish you all the best and hang in there. Your ability to cope with and interact with your step children is something ur SO see, and one of the things that he loves about you. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
