[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 716847, member: 13303"] You are doing great. All of the stages you are going through are normal. You are in a cycle of abuse with your son. You can also Google something called the Karpman Drama Triangle, I found it very useful in understanding the dysfunctional/abusive relationships I have had in my life and helped me see what I needed to do to change it, to break the cycle. I understand what it is to have a child who is too young to be independent, forcing the issue with his behavior. Of course in my case we do not have residential custody of Difficult Stepson. So it isn't really the same, but I too marvel at how "grown" my 17 year old stepson thinks he is. He will learn the hard way as will your child. We have tried to provide an easier, gentler, simpler way. Our children refused that road, so now as Copa said, we need to get out of the way and let them learn. Enjoy your vacation. Nobody deserves it more than you and your husband. [/QUOTE]
