I would like to hear from others who have experiences with teenage step children. I've been with my partner for nearly two years now, and lived with him for almost as long (I moved in pretty quickly after we met). He's got a son, almost 15-years old now, who lives with him (his mum died when he was 5). Whilst our relationship seemed to improve initially, from the moment I moved in my stepson has been quite cold and indifferent towards me, and occasionally - though always passively - negative (leaving the room when I come in, not saying 'hello', etc.). He definitely won't do anything that involves the three of us and holidays have been a bit of a nightmare. He did go through a bit of an aggressive patch last year, also towards my partner, which seems better now. Overall the atmosphere in the house is more relaxed now, but we seem to have entered into this stalemate, where nothing's moving. I always keep trying to talk to him, take an interest in what he's up to, etc., but he's not forthcoming. He's not very different with other adults he doesn't know well, but we are sharing a house after all and I feel uncomfortable and occasionally a bit resentful. Now, a new baby's on it's way, which everyone including stepson is very much looking forward to. But will it change anything? Help!
