I have "blood" children and an adopted child. I get the difference**************I simply had my "blood" children, but the other.....I fought my arse off for him. And ya know what, when he needs me, I tell the "blood" children "Hey, love you guys, and right now we need to help your brother".

Try that approach. See how it works. It's even legal without being as complicated as forsaking your child.

Seriously. If your son intentionally did these things to your daughter, then he needs just as much help as your daughter needs protection. If your son did not intentionally do these things, then he needs help just as much as your daughter needs to learn about boundaries.

Either way it goes, this young man NEEDS someone to "man up" for him. You are his father, man up and do the right thing already. You said that he may not want you around. So? Does he get to make the rules?

With all due respect, sir, grow a pair already.

I do want to perhaps add to what I said.

Sometimes, the kindest and best thing a parent can do for a child is acknowledge that s/he (the parent) can't do the parenting any longer, and let the child "go" with people who are ready and capable of providing the right nurturing environment.

Not that this changes anything. OP is still free to refuse contact; the state doesn't give a puppymonkeybaby as long as child support continues.

I watched that video YEARS ago and i'm STILL scarred! Now that i'm hearing all this "puppymonkeybaby" thing i'm almost tempted to google but every time I try, my fingers suddenly find themselves veering off the keyboard in anticipation of the evil of said bolded. The struggle is real ;) :p

This.....

Clearly OP is very uninterested in being anything other than a stranger to this kid. If this kid really is a monster in the making (yes, those do actually exist) then in a way making him stay away is sadly the right thing as it means the girls in the home are now protected from him. If he isn't, then at least not being in the home means the kid is protected from the emotional turmoil of dads apathy (and his past regarding kiddos mom) and the murkiness of now being "that" kid to his "family". The whole thing is just sad....

Puppymonkeybaby was the oddest commercial I have seen in a long time. Certainly not one that made me want to buy the product. The absolute opposite, in fact. Which was likely not the point.
