I married my second husband almost a year ago. This coincided with my DS starting secondary school.
To cut a long story short my DS has had a very bad time since going to the new school. Put simply he hates it. There has been a combination of bad behaviour and he is increasingly withdrawn. My ex and I are paying for DS to have counselling but it's early days. My DS has also started self harming by cutting himself. I'm terrified about what he might do.
Which brings me to my problem. I sense that my new DH actually doesn't like my son. He doesn't speak to him very much and sometimes completely blanks him. However he's quite good at prentending to be the concerned stepfather. Unfortunately he's not as good as he thinks he is because he's always making digs about my son. It's hard to explain.
Anyway I'm looking at a flat tomorrow and I'm thinking of just moving out without discussing it with him. His snidey comments about my son over the last year have just completely switched me off. I don't even want to discuss it with him.
If I try to talk to him he'll just deny there is a problem and I need to concentrate on getting my son back to his normal happy self.
I'm not sure whether I'm being unfair but I can't mess around with his feelings as I'm more worried about my DS.
Sorry if I can't respond to any posts quickly but I can only post when he's not around.
