[quote=Anonymous]OP, I feel for you. His fb comments alone are so hurtful. Obviously his dad is parenting from guilt, which is such a self-indulgent emotion. It certainly isn't good for your stepson, but I don't know how/if you'll be able to change their dynamic. Counseling, maybe, to help you and DH get on the same page about him? The only thing I don't really get about your post is that you seem to expect your stepson to show interest and affection toward your new baby. I don't know that I'd expect that from a person his age - yeah, it would be nice if he wanted to hold your baby, etc but I wouldn't really be disappointed if he didn't. Young adults are notoriously self-centered and that's ok, it's part of growing up.[/quote]
