[QUOTE="BloodiedButUnbowed, post: 694673, member: 13303"] Sorry that you are going through this. My stepson (15, almost 16) has decided my W (his bio mom) and I are the reason his life sucks, and he refuses to speak to either of us. He is hardheaded, stubborn and violent - not to mention the size of an NFL offensive lineman. If he cannot avoid a situation, he becomes violent. His favorite mode of attack is strangulation. Stepson has a really complicated history, my W divorced his dad when he was in grade school and dad didn't take it well. He has always lived with his dad. I think he likely has abandonment issues around my W because of this, but it doesn't explain everything. We had a pretty decent relationship until this spring when he had to be hospitalized. Something snapped in him after the hospitalization and he now hates my W and me. As the stepparent (and relatively new in his life, his mom and I have been married 2 years), I am like "whatever." Of course, it's a very different story for my spouse. She's devastated, but accepts the situation. Nobody can force a teenager, especially one of his size and temperament, to do something he does not want to do. All you can do is let your son know you will always be there for him, and hope he comes around in the future. I hope he is getting the help that he needs to be a productive citizen and happy person.
