Tough Talk,
I was divorced several years ago and dated a lot after that but never seemed to meet the right person . . . until now. We have dated for almost a year and are thinking about tying the knot. The problem is her son who is a young teenager. I understand that it is a tough age and it can’t be easy as his parents went through a bad divorce. However, he treats me like a putz and a loser and the truth is he’s a complete dope, even for a kid his age. I don’t want to be harsh, but he’s getting more and more obnoxious, like insulting my intelligence. I need your advice TT. (Thorston, DE)
Thorsty,
You are correct that it is a hard to be that age and go through a divorce, especially when it is hostile. You need to handle this delicately. I would tell the Mom what a nasty piece of work her son is and that if he doesn’t knock it off he’s gonna get the crap kicked out of him. You won’t do it of course as it’s just an idle threat to get her to stop being a moron as she needs to address his behavior.
