How do you deal with your fiance's son when the child goes for the weekend to visit his mother and he comes back and he is mean and very disrespectful and acts overly jealous?

Answer

This is really hard on you I am sure and it's a very delicate balance. It's easy to see why this child is upset. Mom and dad are just that to a child and don't like a stranger in the home. You could be as sweet as pie to him, but when it comes to marrying the mother or father it's a whole different story. If the child is old enough to understand about parents separating they wish very hard that their parents will get back together.

There could be a possibility that his mother is bitter and sometimes either the wife or husband can take their frustrations out on the child and say bad things about their mate or who they are with. If this isn't the case and his mother is OK with your relationship, then the child simply realizes that his parents aren't getting back together again.

There is no reason why you should be dealing with this. It's time for the parent to step in and help the child out and that most certainly must include some much needed counseling for all concerned.

Good luck Merry Christmas Marcy
