........9 months ago I took on my SS aged 14 as his BM and new partner weren't coping. SS was badly behaved at school, violent at home and generally uncontrollable. I gave him a new life, new school, new everything. All of this is what he wanted after numerous talks between himself and the four adults co-parenting. He had been in trouble with the police for assault and he wasn't getting on with his new SF. This went on for several months so changes needed to be made so everyone was happy.
