Right to the point.
Ive been with my wife for about 10 years, cant have kids of my own."Thats fine with me" my wife has 2 kids. Boy is 13, girl is 10.
The boy has been an asshole always. Sorry if it sounds wrong...But its the right description.
He has always considered me "dad" and the girl is intelligent, pretty quiet can sometime get normal kid annoying..not to bad. She refers to me by my name "Which is also fine with me".

The boy throughout the years has just steadily become worse, He is a physcopath by definition, as he absolutely never takes blame, nothing is ever his fault, he will manipulate anyone with anything he can think of to get what he wants.
Hes the type that will touch the hot plate...wine about it, blame it on you....Then do it again..over and over. I am not exaggerating!
So throughout the years, Ive had to get a little physical with him "Not abuse like where im choking him or punching him, etc..etc" but once he hit his sis. I picked him up by his front of his shirt and put him in his place, there has been a few times something similar has happened....but not very frequently.
He is always grounded it seems, because he will never budge.
Well, over the summer he visited my wifes parents and put up a big fit about how unfair we are..etc..etc said something where I hit him so bad he was on the floor and needed to go to the docs, and I just told him to go to his room "I have no idea where this is coming from"
And over the course of a few months, the grandparents NEVER talked to us about this, and waited until we sent him down to Florida with his sister to visit for XMAS.
Well, my wifes daughter; still be fairly young doesnt understand what the term "HIT" means..so when they asked her if I hit him, she reluctantly said "well ya" because obviously she thinks that being that she has never seen what real abuse or "hitting" is.
My wife parents are dumb..plain and simple, my wife even says it.
So tthey send back my wifes daughter on the plane and say they are going to be doing something about Kobe and that "we wont be abusing him anymore"
And I kindly explained to them that they have only really seen this kid only a fraction of time of what we do, and they dont know everything....Well they are good puppets for my wifes son "The puppet master" to control.

So here we are.
My wifes stepdad is an asshole "He actually alienated all my wifes siblings and wife too" and Im afraid if I see him in person.....Hes going to get a headache real quick.
These people are not going to listen to reason, so what he hell?

Now, Im contemplating leaving. Ive had the thought a few times over the last year or so just because the boy was pushing me to almost really abusing him, "my wife agrees about my assessment fyi"
The girl I feel like is going to be the little secret spy in my home, this nonsense these people pulled has completely stripped my authority away. And Im not the type that allows the place where I live to be controlled by someone else.

Im still quite young at only 28, and I feel like Ive wasted a lot of my youth on some others nonsense. "Since I was 19"
Step parents get no respect, they are always the asshole, and eventually feel resentment I think.
I feel bad about my wife because I do love her.
I read someones post that said
Steps are for stairs, not relationships.
Im starting to feel thats true.
