[QUOTE="Malika, post: 523238, member: 11227"] Of course your stepson didn't sign up for it either, unfortunately. I can really understand that you didn't bargain for this in marrying your husband and that you feel it is more than you can handle. I also feel, from personal experience, that it's in trying to escape difficulty that we actually heap more difficulty on ourselves, paradoxically - but it's obviously not for any of us to say what you "should" do and in saying that, I truly don't mean to criticise you. Who knows what I would do in your shoes? Who am I to say I would feel or react any differently? But I do also see the four year old - I think your stepson is just four, right? - who has had such a tough deal in life already, poor little mite. I don't know whether he can be loved out of it... my instinct is to say, yes, at least that should be tried and he is VERY young, much younger than MWM's adopted boy was when he came to her family. I am sorry. You are facing a real dilemma and the future of your family and your relationship is at stake. It is very little, but I do wish you the strength and clarity to see a clear and good way forward for all concerned. Hugs. [/QUOTE]
