[QUOTE="WannabeAgoodFather, post: 704640, member: 21165"] I really think the best solution right now is to let him out of the house. I kind of mentioned about cutting his health insurance to get his won but backfired on me. If he lives by himself, then he will learn to live, survive and appreciate things he used to have without having to do anything. The only obstacle is my wife who fears she will lose her only son forever. My stepson has never met his birth father and as far as I know, he had substance abuse issues.... My experience with my stepson used to be good in the beginning until he started lying, smoking pot and doing things he was not supposed to. He has never faced a real tough situation in his life as mother always gave in... Sometimes, you have to be tough as a parent but that doesn't work for my wife. She could yell and says things to her son but my stepson knows his mother doesn't mean anything when she is angry... I feel like we are waiting for a miracle to happen considering the current situation. I went to see a therapist by myself and talked. I have almost identical thoughts as the therapist. That is why I stopped going to see him. Maybe I need to go and check on him again. [/QUOTE]
