This may be short lived...but music to my ears...
SASS13 really stepped in it. I won't get into what he did, but suffice it to say - DW told him that "he better have a plan in four and a half years because he isn't living with us. He is gone when he is 18."
She even told him that nothing we do has any impact, so nothing else will be done.
All I could do is smile from ear to ear(in another room of course), because that boy has been a cancer on our family dynamic for a couple of years now. She wants to look into counseling though.

Well said. I try to communicate this often, but it falls on deaf ears.
