[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 41514, member: 1722"] {{{Michelle}}} I'm sorry the family therapy isn't working. My understanding is that being a step-parent to a difficult child is basically a no-win situation in most cases. He may feel at odds at being ineffective with Abby and acting poorly because of it. It's not excusable for him to hit, scream, or be belligerent with either of you. Is Abby afraid of him? Maybe he needs help knowing how he fits in with you two? No matter what, something needs to change. None of you deserve to live like this. Maybe you should push your therapist to help each of you formulate goals and how to work toward them. It really sounds as though bitterness has taken over your home. [img]:crying:[/img] As for husband & I, I'd have to say we're mostly happy. We've had our rough spots but continued to work at it. He's a great guy with a good heart. We'll be married ten years in October. [img]:smile:[/img] [/QUOTE]
