Re: Sons friend a bad influence

This sounds really tricky. Do you know the boy’s family or have a way of meeting them? I think I would set up a really frank chat with your son, because ultimately as you say he has enough agency that you can’t use force or control, and so it has to come from his own decision-making.

Re: How can I stop a book?

Agree with the above and would just encourage you on that last point above as this can be quite a gossipy world and you definitely don’t want to feed any publicity in the unlikely etc - work on your own feelings before any conversations. If you need to, write out everything you feel and might *want*...

Re: resenting my step daughter

I’m really sad to see the shaming, angry and unfiltered language a number of posters have put on you here, when you are at a vulnerable time of life and have been very brave to think this through ask for advice. Quite ironic to preach about compassion with such a blinding lack of compassion to this ...
