Greetings,

I am very new to this forum. And I happened to find it just as I'm at my wits end, so its a blessing in disguise.

I technically am not a step-parent yet. I am dating a man with a 15.5-year-old son here in Florida; we have dated for a few years. The mother is not only involved, she lives close to my boyfriend, and because of that the boundaries are skirted. My boyfriend is also a conflict avoider to the 10th degree, so I've got a real situation on my hands.
