My step son thinks that he can do what he wants when wants that no rules apply to him. He talks to me like I am scum of the earth. He doesn't offer any apologies. We have got him in the court system, counseling, tutoring. My house hold is structured. I resorted to medication to settle my nerves, but I eventually quit taking it. I have tried to ignore him, communicating with him his behavior is unacceptable. Nothing works. Any suggestions would be nice.

wish I could help... I'm in the same situation and nothing we have done or said or tried has made any difference. I am scared for my 3 year old who is seeing all this and sometimes getting hurt by my step son... we are on the verge of divorce over it not because of my marriage but because I can not any longer live with this child in my home. Because there is no remorse these things won't change and I have a ton of "great" talks that even were emotional on both sides and the next day it starts all over with no concern... get him to a dr. and do what you can but don't make yourself sick over it.

I have a 12 year old step son who acts like that too. He is HORRIBLE and like lilpeep I am concerned about my 2 year old and 6 year old who sees the way he acts and what he gets away with. Right now he is with his mom and we live a ways away so I don't see him as much. Anyway, I wish I had an answer for you but, I don't. Just know you are not alone!

I am so sorry. I know what extreme stress this can be... not can be, it is just big big stress. What about the dad? I am trying to bond with the husband, and am taking time for myself.

I wish I had some advice but Im in the same situation. Nothing phases my 14 yr old daughter. Her dad and I can ground her, take away privilages, etc...but it doesnt phase our daughter. Her dad and I have been divorced for 12 yrs but we are good friends and discuss everything with eachother bout our daughter. The major problem is that he has a son who is 10 and I have another daughter who is 11 and both of us fear that our 14 yr may hurt one of the younger children. I am also remarried and have been for a few years. My stepchildren are so shocked at how my child treats me, talks to me and how disrespectful she is. I almost cringe when my daughter is coming over bcuz everybody knows that our weekend is gonna be filled with alot of drama ! Counseling hasnt helped so her dad and I have switched counselors and had an assesment today. My daughter will now be attending more intense therapy 2-3 times a week but she also told us that she wouldnt attend the therapy sessions and if we forced her to, that she would slit her wrists...which she frequently threatens to do but no attempts as of yet. She is very closely watched and never alone.
I def feel your frustruation esp since this is your "stepchild"....I sometimes think my husband is a saint for putting up with my daughter ! You're not alone in this and after I read some of the other stories....I feel better to know that Im not alone either :)
