[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 109214, member: 3626"] Is there any way you could get him to simply stand to the side and do/say nothing? I think it is harder for stepparents to accept mental issues than a parent, especially on the male side. It just goes against everything they've been raised to believe. It is one thing to disagree. It is another to hinder. I lived with a man for 4 years who didn't believe my daughter's issues were anything more than she was a spoiled brat. I finally got him to agree to keep his opinions to himself and let me raise my daughter as I saw fit. I'm sure there were times he was seriously biting his tongue but at least he kept quiet. There were times I could have used his help but I knew that could not be. He was there for me and held me and cuddled me when I was overwhelmed but he said nothing. This actually worked well for us until his death. [/QUOTE]
