My 4 year old stepson has every right to be whining and crying all the time, so I don't blame him. I however am having the hardest time coping and I don't know what to do. He is the most unhappy miserable little boy and it's horribly sad. My husband and I are doing everything we can for him, so please no parenting advice. He's starting therapy, but the real problem is at his mother's house. We have him about 50% of the time and he cries for her nearly the whole time. Nothing we do makes him happy. An attorney has already told us that we can't do anything legally, nothing she's doing consitutes abuse or neglect. I can't cope with him waking us up 3-4 times a night. I can't cope with the constant whining and crying. I have no where else to go when he's here and although I'm sympathetic to his problems I just can't take it anymore. Please help. I have an ulcer from this already (nonH.Pylori) and I have hyperacussis, so he honestly hurts my ears all the time. Please help.
