If I were you, I'd probably hate him too. Pretty much every one of my brother's (one biological brother, 3 step brothers) has one issue or another, one step-brother I have in particular sounds like your son. These guys... in general I feel bad for them because I can empathize with them... but it just comes to a point where they have to grow up, and face the facts that their behavior affects other people and is unacceptable. Tough love can go two ways: either it helps them and they are thankful in the future, or they still can't get past the "I'm a victim and not responsible for anything" mindset and they resent you for as long as they can hold a grudge.
No offense starlite, but it makes me very angry when people say that the younger generations think that everything should be given to them. Sure, there are plenty of spoiled people, but I guess I just know too many people from my own generation who had to be responsible for themselves, their siblings, and in one case the entire household because their parents weren't (and some still aren't) acting like adults.
