Son-in-law is harsh toward his stepson and warm to his biological son
Dear Meghan: My grandson, age 13, was a bright and loving child through age 10. His parents divorced when he was 2, and his bio dad has dropped completely out of the picture. Then his mother (my daughter) got remarried. The new stepdad is a good provider and is warm and loving to their child together but harsh and critical toward the 13-year-old. This negativity has had a dramatically bad effect on the 13-year-old. This issue is also exacerbated by the onset of puberty, social insecurity, etc.

Trump drops one final $1 trillion Middle East deal and heads home to see daughter Tiffany's baby
President Donald Trump announced one final $1 trillion deal on the last day of his Middle East trip and then said he was headed home to see his new grandson. Trump's daughter Tiffany gave birth to a baby boy - Alexander Trump Boulos - on Thursday. It's her first child and the president's 11th grandbaby. 'It's been a tremendous time. Now it's time to go back home. My daughter had a baby. I'm going to go back home and see that little baby,' Trump said at a business roundtable in Abu Dhabi. 'I probably should have left yesterday,' he conceded. 'But I couldn't disappoint you,' he told Crown Prince Khaled Bin Mohamed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan. 'Your father would have been extremely upset with me, and you would have been more upset.' With the announcement Trump confirmed he would not be headed to Turkey for talks on a Russia-Ukraine peace deal. The president had dangled the possibility of a drop-in but Russian President Vladimir Putin decided not to go to Istanbul to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. 'My daughter had a baby. I'm going to go back home and see that little baby, and then we get back to a lot of work. We'll see what happens with Russia and Ukraine,' Trump said. He noted he'd meet with Putin 'as soon as we can set it up. I was gonna, I would actually leave here and go, I do want to see my beautiful grandson.' Secretary of State Marco Rubio is in Turkey but won't sit in the talks, noting the United States doesn't 'have high expectations' for a deal. Trump said on Thursday he doesn't expect a deal to be done until he and Putin can meet. In the meantime, the president and UAE leaders announced a $1.4 trillion investment pledge, which includes plans from the UAE's Etihad Airways plans to purchase dozens of American-made Boeing aircraft powered by GE engines. Trump even had kind words for Boeing - a marked change from his recent criticism about its delay in delivering two 747s to serve as the new Air Force Ones. 'It's just my opinion but Boeing makes the best planes. They've had some headaches over the last few years, but they make the best planes,' he said. But his own issues with the aerospace giant remained on his mind. 'I leave now and get on a 42-year-old Boeing,' he said of the current Air Force One. Trump's acceptance of a $400 million luxury jet from the Qatari Royal Family - which he plans to use as an Air Force One - has been one of the controversial issues of the trip. But, in his four-days in the Middle East, Trump has wracked up an astonishing number of deals. Those include a $200 billion order from Qatar Airways for Boeing jets and a $600 billion investment from Saudi Arabia -- including nearly $142 billion in weapons, which the White House described as the largest-ever arms deal. Trump said it was important that Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates be the stops in the first major foreign trip of his second term. 'Coming to Saudi Arabia, Qatar was very important to me because of personal relationships that I had, maybe more than anything else. So it's been an amazing period of time,' he said. 'We're developing a lot of fans.' 'People have said they've never seen anything like taking place over the last four days, in terms of investment,' he added, 'in terms of the kind of money coming back into the United States. And all that money, the money is a nice word, but it's really jobs. We have jobs that are at a level that we very soon will not be able to nobody can duplicate it.' In addition to the massive investment totals, Trump met with Syria's president and offered renewed optimism for an Iran nuclear deal. There was no breakthrough on the Gaza war, but Trump did suggest turning the area into a 'freedom zone'.

What's my role with my adult stepsons after my husband's death?

Wave of knife attacks in Japan sparks fears of copycat cases
A spate of knife attacks in Japan carried out by teenagers targeting family members, classmates and random strangers is seen as a reflection of growing psychological stress and a deepening sense of isolation experienced by youth living in an increasingly competitive society. Warning about past violent incidents influencing the more recent cases, analysts say authorities must remain vigilant to the risk of further attacks. On Friday, police found the bodies of a 75-year-old man and his 72-year-old wife in their home in the city of Tahara, in Aichi prefecture. The couple had apparently been attacked while they were sleeping and had suffered numerous stab wounds. The following day, the couple's grandson, aged 16, was arrested on suspicion of murder. After finding what appeared to be a weapon used in the attack, police told local media that the boy confirmed that he had killed the couple. On the same day, a 17-year-old was punched in the face and stabbed in the back on a street in the city of Ota in Gunma prefecture. The next day, a high school student, also aged 17, surrendered himself to local police, accompanied by his parents, and was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder. On Monday, a junior high school student aged 15 was arrested in Chiba city, east of Tokyo, on suspicion of a random knife attack the previous day in which a woman aged 84 was stabbed to death. The police said the boy had admitted to the allegations against him, and they were questioning him.
