The counselor said step-difficult child has made no direct physical threats therefore, she's not obligated to report. My mother-in-law isn't concerned because she's never been on the receiving end of any threats. But I think step-difficult child is a potential danger to anyone he thinks won't fight back. He is definitely a bully. I've decided that as long as visitation continues I cannot be in the house. He turns 18 in Nov this year but has announced he's going to continue visitation until he goes off to college to "keep an eye on things" with his younger brother. husband will never ever turn his sons away, so I'm sure visitation will continue. step-difficult child has delusions of attending prestigious colleges. He views himself as "the highest powered intellect at his school." He thinks these schools will look past his straight C's and mediocre test scores and will just see his brilliance! His delusions aren't really his fault, he's had 2 parents telling him how brilliant he is from birth. husband only noticed this last year that maybe his son wasn't as superior as he always believed. I'm not convinced he'll even go to college. Despite my husband's parenting issues, away from his kids he's a wonderful man and I love him. But I just can't live like this.

[QUOTE="dlgallant, post: 51554, member: 3721"] The counselor said step-difficult child has made no direct physical threats therefore, she's not obligated to report. My mother-in-law isn't concerned because she's never been on the receiving end of any threats. But I think step-difficult child is a potential danger to anyone he thinks won't fight back. He is definitely a bully. I've decided that as long as visitation continues I cannot be in the house. He turns 18 in Nov this year but has announced he's going to continue visitation until he goes off to college to "keep an eye on things" with his younger brother. husband will never ever turn his sons away, so I'm sure visitation will continue. step-difficult child has delusions of attending prestigious colleges. He views himself as "the highest powered intellect at his school." He thinks these schools will look past his straight C's and mediocre test scores and will just see his brilliance! His delusions aren't really his fault, he's had 2 parents telling him how brilliant he is from birth. husband only noticed this last year that maybe his son wasn't as superior as he always believed. I'm not convinced he'll even go to college. Despite my husband's parenting issues, away from his kids he's a wonderful man and I love him. But I just can't live like this. [/QUOTE]
