Stepson from Hell Part two

My stepson, who has done everything to split his mother and me up, up to and including trying to put her in jail, has finally got himself busted. While his mom and I were in the hospital, he stole two of our medications--one of which is a schedule 2 controlled substance. Not only did he steal the bottles, he went in and picked the pills out of our individual medbins. I had the pleasure of calling the police on him. The drug task force got involved, and basically told him that If he ever hit me even just one time, I could proceed to knock him cold. The stepson kept saying that I couldn't do that--that officer just took the wind out of his sails.

So, on May 17th, he gets charged with misdemeanor drug paraphernalia. I wanted him to face an adult misdemeanor..or a juve felony.

He has also tried to break up other friends that we have. He knows that for his 18th birthday in January, he is in for it..unless he is in jail...

Good job man. I use to work in the corrections field. I learned over the years that when a teenagers parents were constantly bailing them out and paying for all of their wrong doings, the teen would most likely keep getting into more and more trouble, because he knew mom and dad would be right there to take up for him. But the kids who would get locked up and the mom and dad would leave them in jail for a while, alot of times they would get their act together and behave themselves. Stick to your guns man, love your boy but don't let him run you down. Take care and God bless.

Wow! That's heavy duty. I am a teacher. Discipline is the way to go. Most Americans are to lenient. Kids have to know there are consequences. Hang in there.
Try to tap all of the resources you can at school, support groups, whatever you can. This is hard to handle alone.
