I feel so sad when I read of or hear about a step-parent who has "marked" a stepchild as oppositional. I'm not trying to dismiss your concerns, because they might be very valid. It's just something I've read so many times on this forum and others. I can only imagine how terribly frightened it is to a child when their parents split up and that child has to adjust, like it or not. How confusing for a little person who has been in this confusing world for only 10 years.
I strongly urge you to go for family therapy before your stepson gets any older and he starts being an "oppositional" teen. Also, I'll bet therapy would be helpful for him.
Best of luck to you.
Respectfully, Beth.
