HA,HA,HA,HA, you obviously havent had a nightmare stepchild.. He is 18, wait till he shows up at 2:00 am drunk and telling you to go "F" yourself. Wait till you have that fealing of grabing him by the throat and smashing his punk face. Wait till he puts his hands on your potential wife, knowing you can do nothing,you can call the cops, but he will be back. It sounds like a loose,loose , for you. I dont know you, but take my words, get out while you can. You should look elsewhere. He is 18, he obviously has no future and before long will be back at home making Moms, and your life unbearable.....
No I have not and I am not the OP I just gave my thoughts on this.
My husband is Stepdad to all 3 of my Kids, and he never had to go thru this.
But man you sound like a real treat,, are you a stepdad?
big blow up between him and i, at which time i realized, mom wants to get him the heck out, knows it's what should be done, so finally we were a united front. guess he has a friend who has a room for rent, so,hopefully, (keyword) he is going there. i am not asking any questions, i am being very positive, offering to drive him there, help pack his clothes etc. chances are he will see how good he had it here, and whine to come back. not a chance in hell. if we have to go into lock down mode with our house, ok, but he will not come back here to live. i am keeping my fingers crossed this room works out, and the friend is agreeable to it.
Good for you. I don't envy you this situation. I was lucky and become my son's step-mom at age 6 and his dad wouldn't tolerated any disrepect towards me.
It's not going to be easy but I would fight his moving back in tooth and nail.
You and your partner HAVE to have a united front.
I'm glad to see you have left the lines of communication open. It will help in the long run.
room didn't pan out, back a few steps. i am really discouraged. feeling like it is too much of an uphill battle. mom feels the same. we are definitely at our wits end, and to make matters worse, he is being charged with a felony.

I keep telling you - you need some professional intervention. Have you looked into any Tough Love groups in your area yet????
to make matters worse, he is being charged with a felony.
He is going to be getting a real wake-up call, and you and Mom are not going to be the ones giving it to him. There are rules in life, he broke them, and the law is coming down on him. He's going to have to pay for his actions now.
I wouldn't pay for his lawyer. He got into this trouble all on his own. He can get himself a public defender. Don't enable him even more. Don't bail him out on this one. He's done nothing to deserve that.
I feel bad for Mom (and you), but maybe paying for his crime will wake him up and he'll make some changes in his life. Let's hope that happens.
let him be? you have no idea how hard that is. being rude, yelling, swearing is his normal way of life. you're right..once he's out, he will not come back. he has no job, and no money saved. maybe i should find him a cheap place, pay the rent for 3 months and be done.
