Array ( [sid] => 18317 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => no answer [time] => 2003-05-31 12:35:00 [hometext] => another one for my stepchild ( i keep trying though... to give that answer... ) [bodytext] => i search for the words
but they won't come at all
looking for my feelings
waiting for the wall to fall
i'm to a scary point
an area of no return
i try to pull away
but my heart, it feels the burn
i don't know the answer
i find i seldom do
i can't tell you how…
what are my feelings for you?
i'm tired and withdrawn
sick of all the pain
do i give just one more time
and risk heartache again?
i'm weary of the battle
that should never have been fought
lessons never learned
misery, it seems, i've bought

forgiveness you do seek
but change you will not do
i cannot give the answer
that you want me to

Very good!! teens are hard to deal with at times . I would not want to be in your shoes right now. I hope that all worksout the way you hope it to.
(dont feel to bad) the teens I was raising tried to steal my car, burn the house down, lit my cat on fire, would lie to me everyday. Always a war at the house.The list goes on and on.So I do know what it feels like!! A big hug for you my friend!! Best wishes.

Some things are just difficult beyond all comprehension. Although I don't know the age of your step-child, I know that I personally had a lot of inner struggle during my middle teen years. I feel that, as I am now turning 20, I am finally able to shuck the remnants of those years and start fresh and new. Things around my household have become awkward, though, with a recent addition of a step-mother and a 5 year old step-sister. I have yet to determine how I am to handle this situation, but time will tell.

Hang in there and don't give up. Even if no lessons are learned right away, your step-child might understand that you keep trying. I find that the one thing I always want the most over material possessions and the like is the knowledge that someone cares for me. If I could have one thing for my birthday, I'd just take that.

Finally, I say the following based on numerous assumptions, including your step-child being a teenager and that, out of frustration, communication between you two might have be breaking down, I suggest simply talking to him or her and having a few minutes out of the day to talk about the good stuff and the bad stuff. Open channels between people help relieve tension and are tremendously beneficial to everyone.
