[QUOTE="WannabeAgoodFather, post: 705306, member: 21165"] There's definitely a dialogue going on between my stepson and his mother. I heard my wife having a long conversation with her mom and one of her sisters concerning my stepson. They seem to realize that it has reached to a point that someone will have to make a hard decision soon. My stepson doesn't come back home until very late at night everyday to avoid any contacts with my wife or me continues. Last night, my wife kind of passed out again around 10 but woke up, went to her son's room and then came back in around midnight. I pretended as if I were sleeping. My wife closed the bedroom door so I could not hear anything what they talked. It has been going on for about 2 weeks. I have no idea what the subjects are though. I know that my wife says the same things consistently. 1. Get a real job. Delivering pizza will not do it. 2. Exercise and eat healthy food. 3. Find people that could give him positive impact such as join a basketball league, find a job at a big restaurant that he could make money, tips and make friends that are in similar situation as he is in. 4. Go back to school, any school but he's already taken 2 year break. The longer break is, it is harder to go back. All those things have been said since day 1 when he came back. NOTHING in OUTCOME. My wife's signature move... A Threat.... She does that to her son and everyone including me. However, it doesn't work with her son and no longer has the same effects as it used to be towards me, either. I have heard "How many times did I kick you out of the house?" "Why do you think that you deserve a room in the new house?" when we moved this year. She kicked him out to relatives but came back anyway. She ended up paying for the 2 1/2 month vacation the way I see it. He left saying "I think I hit the bottom" Mother said "Hope you really figure out what you would like to do with your life over there as you could go to a school up there and work" 3 months later, things came back to the same point. He returned with no remorse. I just hope that current dialogue will make a difference this time as I will carefully watch. I think not even putting a phony effort to give out a simple Christmas card, thanking to the members of the family hit the bell on my wife. Who knows. She knows my patience ran out long ago, has nowhere to defend for her son's action to me as she now tries to remind me that he is who he is and nothing shocks me anymore as our relationship is deteriorating. I will have to deal with another holiday weekend, which I am not really thrilled..... We shall see. [/QUOTE]
