I'm not much for excuses, and the divorce happened when he was 5. I've been with him ever since.

My parents were divorced and I have never had a problem because of it. Perhaps he's different.

We tried several years ago to get him to see a psycologist(sp?), to see if had ADD since he had so much trouble focusing at school. Anyway, he went to a few sessions and decided that he didn't want to go and fought his Mom at every turn.

He rarely goes to see his Dad. I think he may actually dislike going over there because his father may actually demand that he do things around the house. He lives about 40 minutes away.

To give you an idea of the person he is, he wants either my wife or I to drive him there, and they will drop him off.

Imagine that, I have to take my step-son to go see his father. I put a stop to that before it even started.

Junior got caught smoking pot at school once, when I spoke to his father about it, he said " he's just experiencing everything life has too offer". That's a nice attitude to have. How about crack next.
Neither my wife or I speak to his father.

The more I think about it, the worse I feel, but something has to be done. I probably should have done it sooner.

I'll talk to him about perhaps going to counseling when he comes back on Monday.

One of the problems is that he doesn't think there is anyhing wrong with him. He thinks he's the normal one and I'm nuts.

Thanks
