[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not sure Gabe is manipulating. I think he is reacting and surviving.

Moving back in with you would be a nightmare. He won't, nor should he. it sounds like he is 16 but really already functioning like an adult. Despite everything he is still a good student so he is getting himself to school and managing the house.

Of course the girlfriend and kids should move out. He doesn't have to live with them. Does it suck for those kids too, yes it does.

Seeing as he has an adult male in his life who is in charge and who he trusts, that persona is probably the best person to help him sort through the decisions. Living on his own in a place he can afford would probably be the best option.[/quote]

He have tried to use his position to force his father's girlfriend to give him things back. He have even gone as far as get rid of all television and video game systems that isn't in someone bedroom simply because he don't like or watch television. Now no one but Gabe want to be in the living room.
He also almost immediately sold two of his father's own cars for low price without even talking to his father's girlfriend about it. 
Why would Gabe made his father's girlfriend give up the master bedroom so he can move in? 
Gabe have done many things that just make it seems like he's manipulating to get things his way and not being mature about anything.
Kicking someone out of the house is just horrible. Yet Gabe doesn't even care even when this woman was crying in front of him. He doesn't even care about those kids and whenever the questions about the kids are brought up, he just brush it off and say they're not his problem.

I don't like the idea of him being out on his own. He's still only sixteen.
I know he want to sell the house and buy a small condo to move in to reduce the burden of owning a place. But I'm afraid about letting him doing this. I feel he still have a lot of growing up to do.
My step son is Gabe's age and mature, but I could never imagine him being on his own. [/quote]
