Dad will shoot through hoops.Mon, Jun 4th 2007My question is how to break a 10 year old boy from sleeping with his dad and 7 year old brother. You see I am about to commit to living with this wonderful man(father). I love him with all of my heart. I have been patient with this problem for the past year or so seeing as we both come from failed relationships and feeling for the children. I took 6 months to get enough courage to draw this to dad\'s attention and tell him this bothers me alot. He has talked with his oldest and put in an effort to correct the problem, but that has since went by the way side. I still sleep alone when we have the children. This child is so demanding and clingy I can hardly speak with my partner privately at any time, day or night. This child experienced divorced parents 5 years ago. Could that play any role in his insecurity? Help I am in love and still lonely.
