I re-married almost two years ago. In the beginning things were okay between my husband and my boys (16 & 17). Things are now disintegrating in a big way. My husband acts like he hates my son, and refuses to converse with him..except to yell at him or give him an order (which my son generally refuses to obey...out of spite). In fact, my husband has (I believe under the stress of it all) started to become so angry that I am frightened of what might happen. He blames his anger on his frustration with my inability to control my kids, and the lack of structure/consequences (I admit I have problems with consistency!)
My husband thinks that my kids' behavioral problems (academic underachievement, impulsivity) are due to my parenting, rather than their problems with ADHD. We've tried counseling, but all he hears is that there is some way to "control" teenagers. Good luck trying to control a 17 year old! Anyone ever have step-family issues?
This is the end of the thread.
