[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 430470, member: 1550"] Well, to figure out what else may be going on, can you tell us about his past? Was he passed around a lot when he was little? Is his mother an alcoholic or other substance abuser and did she do this while she was pregnant? Drinking/drugs during pregnancy can cause lots of real damage. Was he ever abused in any way? Do you know about his early development or if there are any psychiatric problems on his genetic family tree? I am not sure you can make him respect you. It has nothing to do with you other than some kids plain old resent stepparents and refuse to listen to them, especially when they exert authority. It may be easier on you if husband continued to do the disciplining. [/QUOTE]
