A few weeks ago i suspected that a step child was doing drugs and running with a bad crowd, all fine and well except this child is medicated with Paxel for mental depression and anger problems,My wife and i have had issues over this child for years, I tell her my fears about him and she played me off, i'm concerned because this kids bigger than me and i have other kids in the house, He's had my son by the throat more than once and he's smashed a glass over my son's head in anger, now I suspect drugs, he's on probation for taking a knife to school and threatening an entire class with it,the "system" says he's doing exelent and he's a star prospect to kick from probation early, but after taping his phone conversations for weeks its clear he's out of controll, I also have my wife on tape assisting him in covering up his problem so i dont make it a federal case, NOW I"M FURIOUS, I no longer trust my wife to be up front about his mental status, after informing his probation officer of my findings i told them I want this kid OUT of my home for violating the rules laid down when he was allowed to return home, they agreed, I also told my wife we are done,she bare faced lied to me to protect her son, WHAT ABOUT the rest of us in the house that were at risk? we have 3 other kids including a 8 yr old little girl.
My wife now claims she played me off because he "admitted" he was using, and she didnt want me to know, my opinion is this was very wrong, and I'm wondering what else she' s slid by me that I should have been told.
Now my problem is she wants to get an apartment and have custody of both kids, { her son and our 8 yr old daughter}, the other kids are mine. I dont want her mentally ill son ever spending another night in a home with my daughter, even more so now that I cant watch whats happening with the nut case , Based on my tapes this kids very sick, I think he has sex issues, he tells girls he's 18, he's not, but he looks it, his father has mental issues and so does his mom, and now his dads in jail for molesting his own 6 yr old daughter, I cant trust this kid, my question is, should I spend thousands with a lawyer to try and get custody of my daughter? The professionals in his case will dispute my opinion, and all i have is tapes i may not be allowed to show anyone, HELP!!!
