Harrassment

[Joyce B]

 My stepdaughters son continually calls me names in public places .And she does nothing to stop him ..

She may be embarassed, and unsure how to proceed. Have a chat with her, when the two of you are alone, and bring the subject round to child rearing. Tell her that you would never have tolerated her calling anyone names, in public or priavte, has she noticed that her sone does it. Tell her that you don't want to interfere, but if your step-daughter doesn't stop it, you will. Next time it happens, make it an issue, and humiliate him (and her!) and make it clear that this will continue until he learns his manners. Should only take a couple of times. Disrespect is something no one has to put up with.

 My stepdaughter knows he does it and thinks it funny ..She also has been telling people i stripped her dad of his money .She told my new b/f this.. she too has mades remarks to me in public..also  the son has told one of my grandaughters that i had killed his grandad.That is why he calls me names and makes signs at me ..

Wouldn't this be better-asked in Parenting rather than How it Works?

[Joyce B]

 What has parenting to do with be harrassed or slandered?

ladies....handbags at twenty paces!
ok, my advice - forget any family ties and just deal with it as if he is any other human being. Im with andy, nobody deserves this.

 Thank you ,

So what would you advise when the mother slanders me and refuses to talk about the problems ?

Joyce I posted to your other question. Having read this I have to say just cut off all contact and ignore them. If he is calling you names in public places though, and won't leave you alone, you need to talk to the police.
