rkyfat73, I have similar feelings sometimes.

Why your stepson is getting on our nerves? I would think that he is not taking your situation easy. My H raised my S25 since he was 8. When my son found out what was going on with our M, he was not happy. I think to him it is like going through another parents split all over again. He is 25, and even then it is not easy for him. He is very supportive of me, but he also tries to maintain good relationship with my H when he sees him, which is not often. In your situation you are on the other side of equation, but the feelings of a broken home are still the same for your stepson. This is just my opinion. I don’t remember all the details about your sitch, sorry.
