[quote=Anonymous]sounds like stepson's behavior is the direct result of very poor co-parenting from mom and dad not some sudden resentment of stepmother (though that may contribute). They replaced stable family structure with manipulation and competition, thus encouraging the manipulative behavior stepson is now engaged in. There is no easy way to fix this situation, and it would ideally take coordinated responses from both parents. Howver, since that is unlikely, best thing is for OP to insist on counseling with her husband. OP, I'd pose it as "Do you want another ex wife and custody battle? IF not, we need to sort this out." You cannot change your stepson, but you can find a better way to relate with your husband about it. THe best solution would be for him to find a way to emotionally support (not enable) stepson while respecting you. You would find a way to separate some of your feelings and enjoy your baby and realize that at a certain point, stepson is not your responsibility. [/quote]
