We are not here to mark his work! he made his point and his lack of punctuation, grammar or even education is none of our business. It's an 'Open Forum' - anyone can post. we do not have to pass a written exam to register!

I didn't say that you did. I was just countering that the man's claims that his parents ensured he got an education while he was running around with 'druggies'. Clearly they did not.:)

I don't mind people knowing that Atrix is my son - I am proud of him!
Despite a life-threatening illness which affected his schooling badly, and his dyslexia, he is brave enough to post on Forums and generally has no difficulty getting his point across. Of course, most forum users know that we are not supposed to criticise others for spelling or grammar. Perhaps you havent been on here long enough to realise that this is frowned on?

I wasn't criticising, I was just pointing out that there seemed to be certain inaccuracies in his claims.:)

We obviously have very different opinions on what counts as 'brave'. Among other things I imagine.

My Apologies OP for derailing the thread. Going back to your stepson, it worries me that his grandmother hints that he had problems as a child. please bring that up if you decide to go see his GP. its often an indicator of a troubled child. and from what you have said so far this 'child' is very troubled indeed. He needs help. and so do you.

Thankyou meritaten.

I have tied hands really - as it happens he didn't take anything this time - so he may have stopped now he's got his job and can afford things for himself.

I think he has had issues - the grandmother won't explain any further, and I can't go to the gp with hints. I typed a huge list and gave it to the parental support worker who was allocated to us, and he just said most of it could be teen boy behaviour.

He achieves ok at school (got onto the college course he wanted) is very personable, well liked from teachers - he just seems to not have the same moral compass in some ways.

But being a step mum is difficult - I can't push my agenda over OH's - and he's not troubled.

I spend a lot of time with SS, and always have - I get the esteem comparison from earlier (thankyou for that) - he is good at things though - it is almost once someone says he can be brilliant at something he gives it up. He's done several things as hobbies, and once he is told he's got the ability to take it all the way he just quits.

I'm calmer anyway - this has shown me that I still carry a lot of anger that I need to sort out. And currently because he got into trouble he's being a dream ..... even loaded my dishwasher tonight!
