Now to clear up a few things. His mom signs pretty fluently(sp) so they can communicate pretty good. He reads lips very well and talking slowly he can understand fully but he can also play that role like he don't understand when he really just don't wanna listen to what you gotta say.
With him I just don't see how stopping and going outside would fix anything with him because he's gonna get worse and worse. There is history there with his mom of him yelling and almost striking her because he doesn't get his way. This was what this was all about, like I said he gets his way ALL the time with everything, her family deals with him being deaf by giving him EVERYTHING he wants. I know the difference between him speaking loudly and not knowing how loud he's speaking and yelling and screaming and he was definitly doing the later. After reading the responses, I think I did loose my cool and that's something I'm going to have to work on. I'm a real laid back don't bother nobody kind of person so when someone trys to handle me up that boy that grew up in the hood comes out of me. I'm not sorry what I did just sorry how it went about. Yall are also right I can't be in public handling kids rough regardless and it will be a miracle if that happens again in public but he will continue to try me because like I said he is used to his way and only his way.

I wish you all the best with blending your family. He sounds like he needs not only a strong presence (because life will definitely tell him no later and he needs to learn that) and some tough love, but a father as well. Sounds like he needs you. You are a man of morals and I must say I respect your attitude and love for both of them. Hats off to you.
