Help, teenage sexually promiscuous SS
I have been wandering on this site a while and I finally created a account. I tried to make myself feel better by reading the horror stories of others, sick I know. But that is my life now. I am just so miserable because of my SS. He is 14 and I have been with his father for 2 years. He has been divorced 3 years. I have my own daughter who is 10 and we have a son together who is a year old. The Bm in my situation had custody of SS but the day before our honeymoon she dumps SS on us and goes to Mexico with her boyfriend, or she says. We have not heard from her since other than a randome phone call twice a year. She is such a skank. I was not happy when that happened. I did not expect to be looking after SS when I got married.
Let me just say SS changed overnight, a few weeks after our wedding. We thought he would outgrow it but it only got worse. He is a smart kid and has many friends. But we also found out he drinks and goes to parties he shouldnt be at. We also found out he has had sex with at least 15 girls, that we know of. We only found out through an incident at school because someone posted a list of the girls who were not virgins anymore and which guy had slept with them. It was disgusting. The list ended up online and I have a friend who saw the list and told me SS's name appeared at least 15 times.
We tried grounding, taking away priviliges. Nothing works. It does not help that everyone at school thinks he's cool for what he did. I am sure if SS was a girl everyone would react differently. My daughter told me after the list was exposed that SS had taken girls into his room when my mother-in-law babysits them. My mother-in-law often sleeps while she is supposed to look after them. But we cannot really afford a babysitter. This kid has some balls. He was sleeping with girls while his grandmom was home. It made me very angry that he was exposing my children to this filth.
But nothing helps. All we do now is educate SS on safe sex. My husband even buys him condoms :sick: . It makes me want to throw up. But I do not want a grandbaby before I turn 40. SS thinks he is amazing because he gets good grades, good at football and is good looking. But his attitude is vomit inducing. There are many other issues with SS. But this was a big one I wanted advice on. He is only 14. I am hearing rumors that SS slept with a older woman. I overheard his friends saying he was the man for "banging a milf" :sick: . That would be a criminal case. Of course, we have no proof. We went to a counselor but SS did not talk to him. Instead, he tried manipulating the counselor. Luckily the counselor was smart enough to see through his lies.
The counselor asked us if SS was ever abused and my husband could not say no for certain. His ex used to bring guys over to the house and sleep with them when my husband was at work. Some of these men were conviced felons, and she still got custody! My husband only found out because he got the syph. Yes, that is the kind of woman Bm is. The counselor said the another possible reason could be that SS is struggling with abandoment issues. He never talks about his mom so we do not know how he feels about her. But SS cannot be helped unless he wants to be helped. We could not afford to keep sending SS to counseling for him to just sit there.
How do you handle a out of control teen? He is making my homelife miserable. And our marriage is suffering. We are always fighting. His birthday is coming up and I feel he should not get anything as punishment, not even a cake. My husband said he supports that idea. But is it too harsh? I need help

Sounds like your hubby better
Sounds like your hubby better start saving up. Parents are responsible for a minor child's child support when he gets a girl knocked up.
I would give him a card for
I would give him a card for his birthday and that is it. Then, I would explain to him why the birthday was not being celebrated more...your DH needs to sit down and tell his son that he is happy and proud of the good things he is doing, but he is also concerned and extremely unhappy about the many bad things he is also doing. He needs to explain to his son that he is traveling down a bad bad road. I know that he may not listen, but I think your DH needs to try. I would definitely not buy any gifts or do anything fun right now.
I agree with skylarksms-if this boy gets someone pregnant, your DH is going to be financially responsible for the support. If an adult woman is sleeping with your SS, you definitely can press charges, but you need solid proof, and with your SS's attitude, I feel he will probably never admit to that.
Try another counselor, and see if they can get your SS talking. Have you spoken with his school-they will have counselors there who may be able to get through to your SS. Someone needs to try to get through to this boy to see what may have happened to him with his mom. And yes, he probably does feel like she abandoned him. As bad as these BMs can be, many kids will still feel attachments/allegiances to their moms. I also think you or your DH or both need to go to the school and see about all this sex that is apparently going on. That needs to be addressed by school officials, whether it is real or not.
Your DH needs to start being extremely strict. Your SS should not be able to go to parties, he should really be at school and at home only and have limited freedom. Your MIL is not a good choice of babysitter because she doesnt seem to be enable to enforce rules if she is too tired. I know that your finances are tight, so it is difficult. I can relate. I would take his computer from him, and he should not have a cell phone. He should have chores. If you see improvement, then you can give more slack. But for now, this kid is not going to get better. If he is doing this at 14, he will be doing worse things at he gets older.
I wish you a lot of luck. This has to be draining you.
Sorry - but I would be
Sorry - but I would be looking at Military school or some type of Boot camp situation for this kid. I would take a 2nd mortgage to do it. There is no way I want this kid in my house. He needs to have a strong hand and your DH and the rest of the family are enabling him. He needs a serious wake up call.
Also, he doesn't seem to value women or sex and that is sad. Something has caused it and if he is not willing to talk to a counselor nothing will help him. Do you really want that around your other kids?
Thank you everyone for
Thank you everyone for posting replies. I had no idea we would be responsible for SS's baby, what on earth? That just gave me the blues. I just have to pray he does not get a girl knocked up. Like some one said above, all he will get for his birthday is a card. We do not let him go to parties but he always sneaks out. We would have to lock him up in his room but I am sure he will call child services on us. Military school is a good idea but we cannot afford it at all. I am just so emotionally drained. I had another fight with my husband last night because SS did not get home until 2 am. I do not want my children around this monster.
