HELP! Please. I've been a step-parent for a year and half now and the honeymoon period is long gone and I'm seriously at wits end..the the point of even thinking of going away for a couple weeks to re-think things. NO doubt I love my DH and REALLY desperate for this to work...but I haven't met any step moms like me yet. First off his son is a very big 7 year old nonverbal child who will draw blood from you through fighting or biting if he is told no in ANY single way. I'm not exaggerating.
