The decision is up to you to make. If the boy is compatible with your home life, then it sounds like a good way to help him remain out of prison. If he is disruptive, make sure you both have an agreed-to "plan B" in place so his behavior doesn't destroy your family.

Blended families are often difficult no matter what. (not always but they have different problems that come up)
I'd say if you and your bf decide to move in together, you need to let both children know beforehand.
Talk about it. If you can visit with the kids, do so.
If you do move in.....let your bf do the decision making, discipline. Not you.
Never downtalk their mom. Even if she is a total wacko, dont do it.
(by decision making, I mean dealing with the kids.....of course you two can talk about it, and come to a joint agreement, but let him be the one to do the talking)
Speaking with a counselor may be a good idea before anything happens.
Good luck to you all.

I'm Brandon, just a youth advocate who spent a decade and a half inside many prisons crossing several state lines.
Today I work with AT RISK youth, families and communities and care about the realities that jails and prisons are nothing more than warehouses of pain and misery.
I need to learn how to use site properly but would be blessed to start right here with topics and issues relating to our youth and the issues of juveniles...
