[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 280118, member: 1550"] If the only reason you are staying is for stepdaughter, does she have any relatives who care about what's going on with her? Will they help? I would try to engage any appropriate relatives and get them to offer to take her in. She's not safe there, with or without you. Nobody is. If nobody in the family can or will help you help stepdaughter, then I'd take the plunge and call social services. I hate them and almost never advise anyone to call them, but this girl is at great risk from her brother and her father won't protect her and YOU can't protect her from this growing boy--nor can you protect your own child OR yourself...it is in the best interest of your child in my opinion to head for the hills with him. Maybe somehow you can help stepdaughter while not living with her. Tell somebody outside of clueless mental health professionals what your fears are. Then you've done all you can. When stepson is six feet tall and heavy, what will you do if he comes at you or your child or stepdaughter with a knife or a gun? He's getting bigger, older, and way scary...well on his way to full blown psychopathy. And your hub is a first rate enabler--he is going to stick up for this boy and let his daughter suffer. And you can't change him. I urge you one last time to get out before he really hurts somebody. His behavior is way over the top even for a difficult child and the stealing is the least of your problems with him--he has violent tendencies and no remorse. Get out, get out, get out...and help your stepdaughter from afar. You can probably do as much for her living out of the house than with her because the men in your family will never admit that difficult child is on the cusp of becoming a dangerous, probably violent criminal with no conscience. JMO. Good luck. I feel for you, AND for your kids and stepdaughter. [/QUOTE]
