My first entry to any blog! Yay! I'm new here but was struggling tryna find some comfort. My stepson is a little jerk! 5yr battle after battle! Often lost in my thoughts as to how children have changed! I have health issues epilepsy and chronic kidney stones! And now DEPRESSION! YUP! I thought I was strong and that I could bulldoze right through life. I'm a fighter and a lover. But the past months have only gotten harder. His manipulative behavior has destroyed my relationship with his father.  I'm an old school mom with old school rules and discipline. Simple do your chores and lifes kosher! But my dude thinks I'm a hard ass and always picking on his lazy son. When I might add lies,steals, talks back, hides food and yes still wets the bed! I've taken him to doctors psychiatrist and well they all say he's fine. He has ADD which his dad denies. He's failing in school and runs to biomom to escape doing chores! He loves watching us argue and to be honest he has always been why we fight! So after this last argument I just stepped back. I had a seizure and I think he enjoyed watching.  Weird I'm not afraid of him just don't want him around me or anything I do. He's selfish and once destroyed a piece of art I made! I just need to know I'm not alone when I cry!
