  • He's a child. Your husband is theoretically an adult. He has thrown out the one person, by the sounds of it, who was prepared to stand up to him, even though he is only a child, not even old enough to get a job, much less cope in the outside world.

    And you are allowing him to do so because he will abduct your 'baby' as punishment?

    A homeless teenage boy could face drugs, prostitution, rape, murder. It seems a high price to pay for flunking a few GCSEs that he could resit at college.

    Is any man worth that happening to your son?

    I NEVER agree with Fang - but I do here.

    Go and get your son and take yourself and your children somewhere where he can't abduct your youngest.

    You know that your responsibilities are to your children, not some overgrown manchild who is throwing a temper tantrum and trying to make you prove to a child that you love him more than the child you carried inside you for nine months.

    He's only 15 and his mum has chosen his stepfather over him. The stepfather has managed to oust the non-biological cuckoo from the nest.

    Wow. Your son must feel very alone right now. .

    Been there & yes he will.

    I had to move out at 14 for nearly a year when "mum" got back with her husband.

    He won't forget it OP:(

    I think the OP has logged out now so I hope this is what she's gone to do.

    I was very shocked when I saw that she was reading the other threads on the forum instead of actually doing something.

    What sort of friend is he staying with tonight.
    A family of tramps in a large cardboard box on the embankment?
    Hopefully the op has decided to ignore this sort of response, and turned the pc off.

    I have a bad nagging feeling about the validity of this thread.

    Dunno, but hardly likely to be prepared to feed, clothe and support him for the next four years. Enter the care system and/or street sleeping.

    Or go home tomorrow, (unless they've all split up by now)

    I have a bad nagging feeling the OP of this thread is at the end of her tether. and totally controlled by her OH. and scared stiff of him. even if she doesnt admit it.

    Not necessarily. I left home voluntarily at 16 mainly because I didn't get on with my Father. I was responsible and capable and had my own rented place ( a dump with no bath or shower in it and only a Baby Belling table top cooker but it was a home) within a very short time.

    16 year olds can act and live as adults, care homes and street sleeping doesn't have to come into the equation.
