[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 704576, member: 1550"] I think you should go to therapy, this time to help yourself in this difficult situation. Wife is being unreasonable. You will deal with this dynamic if you stay with her. To be fair, you did help enable step son by handing him free big items, like cars. He never had to go without if he didn't work. He still doesn't. If wife won't go to therapy with serious intentions of resolving this, go alone. You would be amazed at how much a neutral third party can help you gain clarity. You probably need to decide if you love your wife enough that it is worth it to deal with how she treats stepson. It won't be easy. That's why I suggested a therapist to help you sort it out. Your own therapist who is helping you, not telling you and wife what to do about step son. Obviously Wife won't take advice. It's time to focus on you, and what YOU need and how to cope with whatever decision you make. It sounds pretty unhappy. You have a lot to think about and I wish you the very best of luck. [/QUOTE]
