I am in need of some major advice! I am in a blended family I have a 10 year old of my own and also a 6 year old my husband and I had together, he has a 13 year old son from a previous marriage. Unfortunately this little boy does have some special needs and I have been raising him since he was 4. Within the last 3 years he has turned and decided that's it's ok to completely ignore me when I ask him to do something! It has even came down to hitting and kicking me multiple times. His dad just keeps making one excuse after another.
