Differing opinions on discipline issues is one of the most common problems blended families face. I'm happy to hear that the 15 year old is in counseling. Every situation is different, which makes it difficult to give advice on what you should do. Generally speaking, decisions made should always be in the best interest of the CHILDREN, not the adults. Whether or not you would be in financial ruin or miserable, if the girl would benefit by living with her mother then that is where she should be. That was the first family he created and he needs to see it through to the end, not just "get through the next three years". He owes it to his daughter to make the best possible decision for HER, not him.
This may be hard for you to hear, but just as your boyfriend should be focusing on the best interests of his daughter, you should be focusing on the needs of your son. He needs your attention right now. Think about all the time this issue is taking away from him.
My thoughts and prayers are with you!
