Thanks all. I just wish I knew what the right thing was. Like I said, I have no confidence in my ability to make the right choices at this point. Hopefully I will know the right thing at the right time for once in my life.

Richard, I call him Danster only as a way to hide real identity. Lately security has been a worry for me so I try to conceal real names. I know it may sound silly but it makes me feel better. You are very right that I need to do a better job of having him feel some consequences. At his age (7.5) it's more than time he does. So far he saves his worst behavior for home but his daycare teacher has seen some signs of defiance lately so I fear it seeping into other areas. My husband doesn't call him "fat", it's my stepson. I just get mad that my husband won't tell him that it's not acceptable. 2nd marriages are near impossible when there are difficult children involved from either of them. I'm just done trying to be the nice guy. I mean that. I'm not sure of what the future holds but I do know that no matter what, I will be fine. I may have to shed a few tears, but I'm stronger now than ever. I'm not afraid of the pain any more. As a matter of fact, the staus quo may be the most difficult choice of all.

Hugs,

Hope
