I live with my girl friend and pay half the bills plus make all the big purchases for the household. She has had a hard life, twice divorced. She has children from both marriages. Her last husband was very abusive. I love her very much. Her son is in his preteens and is very disrespectful towards her, and is the most annoying, spoiled, lying, mouthy kid I ever met. He curses at her regularly, he has a problem with everything. Everyone has to accommodate him. One time I had a blow up with him, and my girlfriend told me do not correct him anymore. He said terrible things to her. So I decided since I could not correct him, I would just ignore his poor behavior. I would come home, eat snd go strait to the bedroom and read. No chance for me to get in trouble right???????? Wrong. He started to complain that I was ignoring him. I am a very patient person but he even tries my patience. I was taught that you are not supposed to hate someone, but I think I truly hate this kid. I have never hated anyone and I am very easy to get along with. My girlfriend is not a big woman and he is will not allow her to take his stuff away. He threaten her with running away to his pycopath fathers, calling dyfuss if she touches him. He phycologically torments her. He is a little monster. She loses sleep because of him, and I feel like we need to sleep with the door locked. This is no way to live and I do not want to abondon her because of him, but what else can I do????????
