[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 67550, member: 1550"] When my hub first moved in with me, we had an agreement in advance that me and the kid's bio. dad did the parenting. My kids were teens and refused to respond to him, and I personally didn't feel he should have the same power over them that I had or their dad had. I picked him, not them, and it was hard enough for them to deal with me in another relationship. Can't speak for others, but that worked great for us, and we're still married and pretty happy twelve years later. A SO that isn't a wife in my opinion has no authority at all, and I'd question her methods. Seeing that she has some issues herself, perhaps her mood disorder makes her nervous around high strung kids. It may be a poor match for your child. PLus her undermining your parenting, in my opinion, is unhelpful on every level. She doesn't sound that supportative. I would have a long talk with her about what she can and can't do...sounds like she wants to run the show. That's just my opinion, but it's a strong one. I totally urge you to see a neuropsychologist. The testing they do, and the help that comes from knowing what is wrong, is gold. My son's life turned around completely after we finally figured out why he was such an "odd duck" who didn't respond to normal parenting. He's a teen now, and such a great kid. We no longer have behavioral issues-he is easier than one of my easy child kids! [/QUOTE]
