Angry at how my son was treated

We had a rougher than usual night last night, baby up and down as usual. But we had a power cut and issues with the electrics so turned everything off at the fuse board. My 6yo got up in the night scared and asked to get into bed with me. Fine, no issues I really love that he’s asked and miss how often he used to do it.

OH wakes up in a foul mood telling me to move over and that DS being in the bed has caused him to have a bad back. He then goes on to shout at DS and says to stay in “your own f***g bed next time!”

OH goes downstairs to make his flask (I’ve usually done everything for him). I walk round the bed to get the baby who’s been woken up and notice my son is lying there crying so we have a cuddle and I tell him it’s all okay. It breaks my heart as he absolutely idolises his dad, but he just can’t control his temper over anything!

OH then comes up and says goodbye to the baby, totally ignores DS and I. I follow him downstairs asking why we’ve been ignored and he snaps at me saying “you don’t care for my welfare why should I say goodbye to you!” HE’S 6!!!!! He’s come into our bed because he was frightened ffs.

DS used to be in our bed to cuddle me everyday a couple of years ago, OH hated it and ended up screaming at him so he stopped :(

Sorry I don’t have anyone to vent to!

Fucking hell! 😳😡

You know he'll be like that with the baby too. Don't do it to them, put them first.

What's your housing situation, rented/ owned, your name/ joint names?

Oh dear me! Please put your son first here.

I feel so sorry for your children. What a shit life they are living.

You’ll be packing up and leaving today then, yes? Your son is living in an abusive environment. And you’re just… what? Having more kids and watching it happen?

Look, when it’s just you then you can choose to stay and live with abuse if you want. But it’s not just you. You have children who have no choice, no independence, no ability to remove themselves from this. They need you. So step up. Leave.

BodenCardiganNot · 23/05/2024 10:31

You know that you are in an abusive relationship. It won't get better. Can you get help to look at your options?

This has made me so angry! How fucking DARE he speak to a small child like that?! a frightened one too. What a grade A twat! That would be it for me, couldn't be with someone like that.

Yeah I woukd have ripped him a new arsehole and thrown him out tbh. Without hesitation.

Thepossibility · 23/05/2024 11:45

WTF that poor little darling boy. This is so sad.

JamesPringle · 23/05/2024 11:49

Honest to God, I don't think I've ever said LTB before but this is so damaging and abusive OP. Your poor little boy. He needs protecting, surely you can see that?
I know that there are a million practical and emotional reasons for not leaving the father of your kids, but your son's emotional health needs to take precedence here.

peachescariad · 23/05/2024 11:53

Swearing and acting like that towards my young child would be an absolute deal breaker for me. Sounds like this wasn't the first time either.

Raise your bar.

Channel that anger into protecting your children. Get some counselling to work out why you had a second child with this man and why you didn’t leave when he’s kicked off in the past. Not leaving risks your children repeating this pattern as adults and minimising their own feelings out of fear of being yelled at.

Yourethebeerthief · 23/05/2024 12:59

I'd be leaving. Now. If it were me I'd be packing my things and take son from school and baby too to go and stay at my parents until something more permanent was sorted.
