Before you do anything irrevocable, there may be reasons for his behaviour. Has he been tested for Autism, Asperger's Syndrome, ADHD, or similar? There are some very real problems and conditins out there, and just because his father is failing him does not give you the right to abdicate your responsibilities. Do some research first, and see if he broadly fits any of the conditions. The next step could then be to research more closely and involve him in your research. My son has Asperger's and was more keen to research it after he realised he might have it. Our doctor referred us to a Psychiatrist who tested him and spoke with him and agreed. Now he is much better because he has a name for his world view and we understand why he is different.

If your son is a danger to you or himself or anybody in your house, call the police, fast. They are the experts on the danger part. You can protect yourself by changing locks and asking a friend to stay with you- as a witness also. If someone is using the possibility of autism or whatever as an excuse to stay, a witness to his actions can be very useful- an autism person learns quickly to lie- a person taking advantage of a parent will tell bigger lies to a police officer or health official.

Its quite common for adolescents to "act up" and rebel against parenting as a normal part of their development. There are several issues that matter: - Is he committing crimes or causing serious problems outside the home? (If so, this would be more like "juvenile delinquency" than normal adolescent angst.) - Is he particularly having difficulty with you, or is it directed to all authority/adults? If his problem is with you, that's something where family counseling could be helpful. - The fact that the only solution you're talking about is eviction leaves us little to go on: perhaps you just never liked having him around in the first place, and now that he's approaching 18 you want to get rid of him as fast as possible? That would be a case where the problem is most likely to be found in the mirror: as a step-parent and adult guardian, you have certain responsibilities even when he's not your blood child. If you've been treating him as an unwelcome part of your life for years, you can't put all the blame on him for his behavior. We can't tell from the information available...

I have an 18-year-old Stepdaughter and she causes great pain in my life... I hate it when she uses profanity (Fuc$% Ass$%^&) to her biological mother in front of her younger siblings 7 and 4. Every other word is F that... She graduated top in her class at continuation school. Also, She won't help out around the house won't work a steady job even thought she is attending a junior college as a part time student. I just want her out of my house and away from my kids...And yes she did have counseling she is a royal pain in the butt. Is there legal action to remove her from my home and protect my family she is prone to outbursts of rage and sarcasm. Background busted smoking weed at 12 could not manage in regular high school F and D student. Does not play well with others always in a dependent / co-dependent relationship with guys I feel bad for them she treats everyone like dirt.

That brat is old enough to be out of ur house...There is no reason she should still be there if she isn't helpin out! Put ur foot down, and speak to her mom, u should threaten that either she leaves or you take ur kids and leave! Ur other kids should not be around such nonsense! They have a right to be raised in a stable environment! Ask around!
