I have been in a relationship with my step-child's father for the last eight years. We got married in June of 07 and had our son Drake in August of 08. I was recently laid off from my job in January, so I have been a stay-at-home Mom for the last couple of months. I am greatly enjoying my time with my son Drake, but I am not enjoying the time with my step child. My step-son has always gotten what he wants, never has to do anything around the house, and suffers no consequences when he makes wrong descisions or doesn't perform well in school. I was raised in a strict buy loving household and I would like my son Drake to be raised the same way. I am unsupported by my husband, because he doesn't want to disappoint his son. There have been many many instance where my husband has given in to his son, not because it was right, but just to avoid any arguments with Dylan. I realize the importance of raising my son in a nuclear family and I also realize that I new it was going to difficult raising a step son, but I have not been truly happy for many years. My husband and I are not as close as we used to be. I try to avoid any interaction with the step son, now because I have tried numerous time to make the best of it and it just blows up in my face. Can someone offer advice on how to make the best of this undesirable situation that I have gotten myselft into? ↓
