    it is impossible to answer though. even as a hypothetical question, unless you are in that situation at that very moment, its impossible to choose.

Then they decide to have children together and the step parent will try to get their spouse to forget about their first child so they can focus on the ones they have together. The same thing as I decribed above, ends up...

    Our 11 year old wants to end his life, please help!...

    just a question.... does he self-punish? for example, hitting his head on things, punching/slapping himself? i ask because he reminds me of my step-son just a little more extreme. my step-son sees a therapist weekly, a phsyciatrist monthly for his meds, and has a theraputic mentor. it could very...

    oh i love ALL of my kids unconditionally. that includes my step son . your way of thinking is rediculeus. you sound like either a scorned ex, or a scorned step-child. believe me, i am a step child myself. i know damn well that if it came down to it not only would my mother not bother to save me...

    Why are people so reluctant......

    i can give somewhat of an answer.... if the parent of abused child finds out that it was YOU they retaliate. i have had it happen personally. i knew this "woman" that was neglecting her child. like severly. i called and reported her. multiple times! the end result was that her son was RIGHTFULLY...
