Nightmare Adult Stepson Living with Me

My husband moved his adult son in with us full-time. I was told he was going to be pursuing a career/job etc. and that we were just temporarily helping him out on his journey. Instead, his son has been an absolute nightmare, doing nothing I was told he would do. At my insistence, he finally got a part-time job. However, he only works 15-20hrs per week MAXIMUM. Some weeks, he doesn't get called in at all.

6 Months of Hell

I'm 6 months in with my adult SS living in my home. He spends all his time lounging in his bathrobe playing video games every day, all day, and doesn't leave the house. He works a maximum of 20 hours per week and spends the rest of his time in my tiny, one bathroom, expensive apartment doing absolutely NOTHING but taking up my space, resources and privacy. My husband refuses to move him out... and as a result my marriage is hanging on by a thread.

Scary Skid Stories

Hello! I'm grateful to be a part of the StepTalk community. I have been a dedicated stepmom for ten years. When I married my husband, who is 13 years my senior, he had recently gone through a divorce after 25 years of marriage and had three children with his previous wife. I entered the picture as a single-mom with a young son, and my husband adopted him, making us a united family. I have no family myself, so I was excited to create my own. I naively assumed I would be welcomed with love, support and acceptance by his people.
