I have no idea what to do. I have two stepsons, one is 12 and the other is 7. I feel absolutely hate to say this, but I honestly feel like I don't love my oldest stepson. It's to the point where I don't want him in the same room with me. It wasn't always like this. I used to adore him and actually took interest in anything he wanted. I was still a disciplinarian.
Yesterday, his mother called and said she and I had to talk. We actually sat down and talked. All the things she said he was accusing us of, just appalled me. It ranged from denying him food to us threatening to choke him for having an attitude. NONE of it was true. His mother didn't think it was true since she noticed he wouldn't be consistent in his accounts. She told me she thought he was saying these things in order to gain sympathy from his mom and grandmother. We've had so many issues about him flat out lying. We had child protective services visit us. We (my husband and I) thought this was a malice attempt from his ex-wife, but the worker said it was our oldest stepson who made the allegations.
His mom dropped the children off today. He refuses to say a word to me, nor I to him. I am beyond angry, I provided for this child. I feed him, clothed him, I take him to school, I nursed him every time he was ill. I mean I knew he had a habit of lying, but I had no idea what he was actually capable of. I have no idea what I can do, I don't want to get in any criminal trouble, I mean my husband had to go through an investigation and was cleared. I have no idea if anyone else has had an issue this bad, but what can I do?
