[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 713086, member: 13303"] It's good you have social workers involved - that is better than nothing. I will keep your family in my prayers. You can't sacrifice your other children, or even your own sanity and health (emotional and otherwise), for him; it sounds like he cannot live safely and sanely in a traditional family setting. Did he come from an orphanage? How old was he when you adopted him? My difficult stepson's story is very different, and I married his mom when he was 13 so I missed his infancy and childhood years. But from what I understood he showed signs of his current dysfunction from a very, very young age. Maybe my stepson could have been helped with the right intervention at the right time, then again maybe not. His situation like all of ours is unique. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
