My life has never been great..I'm a 35 yr old woman or supposed to be.sometimes I feel like I'm 15 again..my son is 14 and has ADD..my daughter will be 18 soon..I have the scars on my arms and wrist,that I have to live with everyday..I left my partner of nine years and moved two states away to start again.my son stayed with his dad untill i was settled..I met the most amazing man,my soulmate so I decided to bring my son up to live with me and my new partner..I had warned him and his family that my son has a lot of problems..My son arrives and by the second day he was already causing problems..what i didnt expect was for my partner to lower himself to the same age as my son and continually bicker and fight with him..I knew it would happen..he got expelled from school in his third week there..was calling my partner names and trying to upset things..my partner and his sister convinced me that it would be better if I sent him to his dads for awhile..So I did...Now I'm lost..I'm torn between my son and my partner,the life I have here and my old one..its a small town where I am and I know no one except my partner and his sisters family..I can't work even though I'm meant to be looking..my confidence is zero..most days I sit at home by myself with my own thoughts to drive me insane..I'm depressed with the whole situation..I am a package,I come with two kids..I've started smoking weed again just to escape for a bit..my partner is around at his sisters place right now to talk with her about all this and I sit and wonder what the fuck their saying..no doubt how my son has ruined things and how unmotivated I am to do anything..I just don't fit in. | |

And my other problem with her post when she said her partner "continually bickered with and fought with her son"... what were they fighting about? As soon as your partner told your son to do something your son should have done it and kept his mouth shut. Your son obviously talked back to your partner and was disrespectful, then they would start arguing. In my day a boy shut up when told to by an adult. You should have had that conversation with your son before moving him in with you and your partner. You should have established boundaries. And the moment your son got out of line you should have been all over your son's ass telling him to stay in a child's place. But at this point its probably too late, your son is obviously totally out of control, and when you move an out of control, disrespectful teenager in with an adult man, what did you think would happen? Getting expelled from school, etc. so he clearly has problems with everyone. Your son needs intense counseling, possibly military school.
