Last Friday my stepson returned from Thailand. He said it was the best experience of his life and met many people there especially when he was travelling on his own going from one beach to another. I'm very pleased he enjoyed the Thailand experience and even hoped that it could be a turning point in his life. On the same day he arrived back in England, my stepson popped into my home to collect some things. On leaving he said he was going to pop in later that evening to show me and his mother photographs he took on holiday. No problem, I thought. When my wife returned home, she told me that her son was going to stay the night because he will struggle to get some sleep at his Dad's house while he's jet-lagged. No problem, I thought again. After crashing out for two nights I had a conversation with my wife about her son's intentions. The conversation went okay; quite often discussions about her son lead to arguments. My wife explained that her son will stay here until his ...

My stepson only has one day to go before he flies back home from Thailand after nearly three weeks away. Since my last update here, he had a big row with his friends in Bangkok after the third day of their holiday. It seemed they wanted to spend loads of money getting drunk and going off with prostitutes. My stepson, concerned that the prostitutes looked very young, was concerned that his limited budget wouldn't last the holiday. Though he though about curtailing his holiday and flying back home, he decided to make his own way without his friends from Bangkok to Phuket. On balance, I (but not my wife) thought he would get in less trouble being a beach bum without his friends in Phuket than with his friends in Bangkok full of temptation. My calculation was based on a balance of probabilities though. In Phuket my stepson befriended a few fellow tourists, sampled Thai food and even visited a Buddhist temple. He said he was having a good time. Two weeks into his holiday, my stepson pho...

My stepson is still living with his father even though they both don't seem to like the cohabiting arrangement. At least my stepson so far has made no noises about coming back to live with his mother and myself. He's now in Thailand on holiday with two friends for three weeks. What can go wrong? Well it went wrong well before he set off from Nottingham to the airport to catch his flight to Bangkok. When he tried to download details about his flight, he realised he had booked the outgoing flight a month later than he should have done, and his return flight was booked as if he was staying in Thailand for four weeks! It turned out that he had booked his flights when he was drunk and stoned. His father has had to cough up well over a £1,000 so his son can rearrange his flights. As he said to my wife (and his ex-wife), "it's money well spent to get rid of that cunt for a few weeks!" My stepson has been in Thailand for just over a day and he's already phoned his mot...
