feeling like giving up.....former DBing against OW

If you're going to answer his questions yourself, could you do it in the presence of the C so that they could help S14 process it?

My son was taking money from my purse too. I also NEVER have any so when I have $10 I KNOW I have $10. I had to stop leaving my purse in the kitchen and now take it in my room with me. I also had to install a lock on my bedroom door that uses a key instead of the little hole that you can snap the lock open on with just a small screwdriver. He was breaking into my room and taking things. It's just crazy and it's horrible to live in a police state with your own children. Their emotions come out in strange ways and this was my son's reaction. I hope you can find a way to curtail this activity without having to go to the extremes I have had to.

As far as your STBXH is concerned (notice I used STBXH....on purpose), forget the expectations all together. He is obviously not willing to be a true parent to his son. Don't expect him to. It's only going to hurt you in the long run.
