I'm at the end of my rope. My stepson is a great kid but his mother has messed him up so bad. We have been trying to get him help for 6 months now and he will NOT speak. All he cares about is going to his moms and she is not even there. She is usually out drinking. He is fine until something has to do with going to his moms. I told my husband we should not let him go overthere until he can start talking to a counsler about how to deal with his feelings about his mom.
