‘D’P hit stepson

Sorry, but your relationship with your abusive partner is now over. He will be treating your DC like this soon.
You need to take stock of your financial position. I do hope you can manage on your own. Regarding your poor SS. Please contact his mother & explain the situation. He cannot be allowed contact with his DF for the time being. Hopefully she will take steps to protect him.

In fairness she might not have a choice.

I know it's easy to say report him, and probably not so easy to do, but you really should op.

He's has abused his own child, do you want that for yours? What if your DSS went into school and told someone, you haven't reported, DSS says you knew... then that's you getting investigated too and your dc at risk.

Makes you wonder what goes on when you're not there really that's causing such anxiety.

You need to do this.

The poor boy.

Everyone saying he should be with his Mum, the Mum clearly can't be bothered. Choosing working shifts over having a stable him for her child.

Unless there's a medical issue, then this must be a psychological issue which I can understand why.

It's not a full solution but I would recommend buying a Hygee sheet from Amazon. They protect against bedwetting.

Does your DP lose his temper often? If this is a one off then perhaps he's just frustrated and worried his child will be bullied. I do not condone hitting a child though.

My ds is 15 and just stopped... Your p is an ignorant abuser. His ex needs to know.. And an urologist can prescribe tablets to prevent bed wetting. Ds got a year's supply until hormones kicked in.

That is absolutely horrendous and the worst thing I’ve read on here for a while. You must kick your dp out and tell the son’s mum. Absolutely disgusting of your dp.

Tell the mum, report to social services and start the process of leaving him, he is an abuser.

End the relationship for the sake of your children and report to Social Services. That would be it for me, no second chances after hitting a child.

Hope Step son reports vile abuse to a teacher. Your partner is an awful bully, he is the root cause.

Tell your DSS mum.
Kit the abusive twat out.

@Swoopysums it up well

End the relationship . Tell his mum. Get your kids and yourself away from this nasty bully.

Will he be similarly aggressive with your joint kids if they are late bed-wetters?

I’d bet its your partners intimidating and bullying behaviour which is causing anxiety in your stepson - causing the bed wetting. Either way, your DP sounds vile and you need to protect your stepson and your joint children for his awful behaviour.

As a late bedwetter i can assure you the harm this is doing to your poor DSS.

Please tell his mum so he can home and be cared for. And you leave him.

As a mum of a secondary school aged bedwetter, dump the partner, tell the mum, get the boy into the Eric website and please protect your joint children.

What a disgrace for a father.

Has he considered that he’s a source of anxiety - which may be a cause of the bed wetting?

Poor, poor boy.

Your partner is abusing his son. He won’t be any better to your joint children.

Tell your partner that his gross abuse is causing his son anxiety which is probably why he's wetting the bed. Your partner's a dick

This 100%

🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩🚩

Please report it to social services and tell the child's mother immediately. Are you going to get rid of the partner for being an abusive prick?

You need to stand up to this bully. Tell him next time you'll report him to social services. Make him apologise or report him now. Otherwise he'll get your kids half the time and ss. He is probably why the poor boy wets the bed. Evil piece of shi*

You have a major DP problem.

There's no real alternative here unfortunately as your DP feels it was ok.

I'd suggest having a come to Jesus conversation with him anyway - to let him know you will be telling step son's mum and also to let him know this is unacceptable parenting and you will leave should it occur again.

You need to bin him and tell the child's mother what has been happening, poor kid

I’d have to throw my partner out if that was me. I’d be so disgusted that he’d hit him and had shamed him like that. Does he really think his son is purposely lying in bed wetting it on purpose? Is he that dim? How he is treating him will make it way worse. Though I’d be afraid now of not being able to protect that boy if I did split up - so it’s a hard one.
I couldn’t be with someone like that. How awful for you all to have a bully like that among you daily.
Serious words need to said and how remorseful he was would be my decided factor.

Your partner is a bully.
