Would you divorce someone over damage to your coupe??
The 20 year old got the dui...the 16 year old ( the graffiti artist, only had one run in with the law so far....that was for taking his friends brothers 1980 ish Z out for a joy ride. I have my keys on me all the time!
Did he use spray paint on your car? were you able to fix what he did? These are such ridiculous circumstances.
I don't think it's going to end. I only see it getting worse. They're already heading down a pretty dark path and it doesn't sound like the mom can provide a healthy environment for them to really get much better. Yea you can take them to counseling or send them to boot camp, but unless it's in them to change, I don't think it's that easy. Certainly not any time soon. Don't want to see it get worse for you either if they turn violent. Sorry to hear that but it just sounds like all kinds of bad news.
I'm sure your frustration was not just from the G getting tagged, which btw is grounds for execution, but also years of putting up with everything.
I say get the G a good detail, take it out for a drive. Don't let the mess take over your life. Then revisit the issue of divorce (if you're serious) after a week or 2 when your mind is more clear.
Most importantly therapy of all, enjoy your brand spanking new G37!

sit and have chat with her, try to get a solution for her son... if the solution is not working and you feel that your walking down a dark road with a dead end, then its better to just stop and take a right turn.
life is a bumpy road

Id say its time to cut your losses and get out and dont look back . It seems that your wife will do anything for her kids and sees no wrong with them and lets them walk all over her. My ex wife got bailed out of problems by her mom and as a kid and shes still all screwed up and expects me to help her and Ive had to tell her to go fly a kite. I think you step kids are only gonna get worse and something they do my end up comeing back and biting you on the butt if something happens in your home.
I would already be in jail! There is no way in hell that I would of let that little SOB walk away without a good old fashion a$$ beating and as far as the mother goes? What Mother? The 8itch would be gone.
When I first read the title I thought to myself, "no way" but after reading the details and realizing she has damaged baggage I say, "absolutely". I would bitch slap both of them like the 3 stooges and then throw them out. Then watch your back because that punk will prolly do something to your car afterwards.
damn, man, that's painful... In civilized would you could have sold that moron to slavery, but in government controlled society of today, there is nothing you can do. Divorce would probably cost you more than the car.
Wow! I'm sorry to hear this man. Don't do anything foolish. I'd probably be out of that situation but in the end thats up to you. Those kids sound like absolute punks. Too bad that 16 year old is to young for some serious jailtime.
Good luck.
Good luck.
I know a guy that has the same issue. Problematic kid that he married into caring for.
He's the short on it. If your wife defends the kid's behavior, she's just enabling him to continue with it, and it will never get resolved. I'm not sure I would do this over one incident, but if it's a part of a bigger list of things you've had to deal with, you have reason to be concerned.
If your wife is just going to defend the kid and his actions without acknowledging his problems and the need to address them, you will play second fiddle to the kid the rest of your life with her.
Move on.
