[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 636404, member: 1550"] Has your stepson ever seen a neuropsychologist? If not, I highly advise it. Hate to say it, but unless your girlfriend realizes and acknowledges that her son has problems, and some are likely genetic as he seems to have been dealt a couple "iffy" sets of DNA (common with our difficult children), then nothing will change. He needs professional help and early intervention is what is needed for a good adult prognosis. I hope you can get her to take him for an evaluation and the recommended help. It's sooooooooooo important. It is NOT about our discipline. Too bad father still sees the boy, but it is what it is. It is very hard to get the court to terminate parental visitation...I know this from reading about it on a dad's divorce forum when my own son was fighting for custody of his child (50%). As I read about divorce cases and fathers who were angry because their ex's had been in jail for drugs, violence, etc. it was eye opening to this naive person to find that it doesn't matter what they have done to themselves or others unless it is proven physical abuse against the child himself. Unfortunately, sadly, father is likely to continue being an influence and I agree with whoever said that if you can in an y way try to get along with Dad, it may actually help your step son. [/QUOTE]
