Don't have any kids however a friends dad was a therapist that worked with a lot of troubled teens. His methods were a little unconventional however they got results when others had failed. His basic premise was that no matter what, do not respond to their outbursts with anger as this gives them what they want, a sense of control over someone else because they feel totally out of control over themselves. Unfortunately, our society is based on this 'external control'. The concept of punishment doesn't really work or no one would commit crimes however rules and consequences of not following them is necessary.
As the non-biological parent, it sounds like you are really in a no-win situation. Perhaps seeking a trained therapist would help all of you attempt to get him on the right path. One thing to remember is that no one likes to be controlled and like a mule you try to drag to the trough for a drink, he will dig in his heels harder the more you try to control him. |

I've got one sibling and while we're not wildly divergent in outcomes and we have somewhat similar values, I will say that we're very different people, and I don't think we were treated differently growing up.

I also think it's interesting that our understanding of archaeology is only based on what survives. So I tend to think that ancient civilizations built everything out of stone, but 99 percent of stuff might have been wood or mammoth pelt or something that decayed quickly. Maybe there was an entire advanced civilization of sentient giant shrimp in the past and we know nothing about them because they left no bones and built everything out of coral.

^ For what I paid for a coral necklace for my daughter at Galveston Island, it must of been leftover from that shrimp civilization.

The fatherlessness rate and lazy parents throwing iPads to their kids all day will have a huge impact on the next generation. It’s gonna be bad

Theres not enough descriptions in the OP to give you an accurate response...
Does he have mental issues? Does he claim to have mental issues? Have you talked to him about his alternative options prior to bringing up the ultimatum of Good bye see ya your kicked out of here option?? I'm about ready to kick my 7 year old kid out of this house, but I would still exhaust every option with respect to the house in general, before kicking him out... A question like this has so many gray areas attached to it, but if you respond to this with some clarity I may be able to help. I can relate. |

Have you tried railing your wife/his mom in the step son's bed and time it so he walks in? Seeing your balls smacking her ass will show him a whole new perspective on life.

Encouraging your wife to be able to kick someone out of the house could be his goal. Tread with caution!

What kinda of home would that be to go home to everyday? Get a squeeze on the side and tell the wife once she figures it out let you know. Meanwhile you’re having a good time and she’s left dealing with shit for brains.
