I've posted on here before but not for a while.

Short story is that SS now 15 came to live with us when he was 11. He lived with us until last Decemeber when he was told that he had two choices.... 1. stay living with us and make an effort to be part of the family... or 2. Go and live with his mother. He chose to go and live with his mother.

I really struggle with being a step parent and loved it when he made that decision.

Fast forward 6 months. DH finds out that SS has not been going to school. BM has not figured out how to make him.

BM and DH make the decision that it is best for SS to come back and live with us.

DH knows how much I hate being a step parent and that I don't want him livign here but says that its important to get him through his schooling.

I agree but I can't help be angry about the whole thing. He will be arriving here tommorrow night and I get a terrible anxious feeling every time I think aoub it....

I just don't know how I am going to cope....
