[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 712930, member: 15032"] Welcome. You did not say how old your stepchildren are but they they are adults so assuming 18+ We have had a lot of problems with our son over drugs and alcohol and he is no longer in our home. However, I am also a step parent to husband's older son and he is a step parent to my older son (our youngest problem child is OURS together) and I KNOW how tricky that can all be. What we did with OUR son when we were at our wits end - when we hit rock bottom as parents - was go see a therapist ONCE together to come up with a game plan. My husband is not big on therapists but said he would go IF and only IF, I agreed to do whatever the therapist said. I agreed. The wonderful thing is they CAN go to their mother's house and maybe that is what needs to happen. Your husband will not "lose" his children for disciplining them. Someday they will understand that. Neither of you can worry about that or they will be running your home. Do not live in a FOG (fear, obligation, resentment). I'm not saying your situation is as serious as ours was, but it's good to have an unbiased opinion. Yes!! You do NOT want this to come between you two and it can and it will!! [/QUOTE]
