step-father abuse

Quote From: angel_1963

I know about this topic very well, because I lived it for 2 years with my son and his step-father,  2 weeks after I was married to a man I really truely love, he started hitting my son cussing him, twisting his arms, screaming him throwing things at him and calling him a loser, fat and ba*****d kid.  I had to refree for 2 years.  But if you do not put a stop to it early in you marriage it will never stop it will only get worse to the point that he might even start hitting you like my husband did.  I had escape when my husband took my child to Utah and he was going to break my child neck.  I finally escape by calling the police and having him arrested and then I left back for Texas.  So I would stop it fast and soon.   I finally woke up and I hope she wakes up before it is to late.  You can alway get another man, but you can not replace your children. But this are you flesh and blood and I have learn that I would not let a man hurt my child no more.  Because  it also emotionally hurts them too.  I wish I had left sooner, but I was scared of this man because he was volient toward me as well but I had to fight for my child as well.   It end in 2006 after he cracked my rib, and I am so glad to be away from this mess.  My son is so much happier......Teresa
It's bad enough that a parent engages in this behavior, but for a mother to choose a man who will do this to a son she already has is outrageous.  Unless Dr. Phil can perform a miracle, dump him.

I know I shouldn't judge others but boy when I hear someone make a statement like yours & the others here I really have such a hard time.  you say you had to "referee for 2 years"?  No you didn't you could have the very first time this man hit, cussed or did *anything* to your kid.  It would have been very simple "I'll not tolerate abusive behavior in my home.  If you can't keep from speaking that way or from physically harming my kid then get out."  You say if they don't stop it early in their marriage it will only get worse to the point that he might even start hitting you?  I'm sorry but as horrible as it would be to have a guy kick the crap out of me it would be way worse to watch him do that to my kid.  He would have been beating me the first time it happened because there's no way I could have watched without interviening.  It would have been the last breath of my body before I'd have stood by & watched someone hurting my kid & Ijust don't understand how any mother could.

Teresa, I am proud of you for removing your son out of this situation.  I have always felt that our kids are our best investment.  If we invest a little time and encouragement, we will get paid back 100x over with a loving adult that God would be proud of!!!  Thanks for saving your son and yourself!!!!
