Step father to my children swears at them when I’m not around

So I’m in complete despair and beyond fuming. I am married to the step father of my two children. Whenever we argue he blames the kids for the argument and when I leave the room he says things to them that quite frankly I’m appalled by. Today for instance, my son who is 10 years old, was starving after breakfast and went to get some cereal. Husband then tells child that’s his last bowl. I then interrupted and said he’s really hungry and I didn’t see why he couldn’t have more cereal as I think my son is going through a growth spurt. Husband then says ‘I knew you would pipe in’.

I then walked away and he told my children that they were f babies and that he was going to get them sweets from the shop but they could f*** do one! My children are 8 and 10 and I think this is unacceptable. He then shouts at them if they tell me what has been said once I’ve left the room. I’ve confronted him and he’s not denied it and is blaming the kids. This is not the first time this has happened. Am I being over sensitive or should I walk away for the sanity of my children?

How are they not being harmed?? It is psychological abuse.

I think the poster was implying the op is not being genuine, which I also hope tbh

Please please please get your kids out of there. This is incredibly clear emotional abuse. I and my siblings had an emotionally abusive step mother at a similar age and the damage done to all of us was huge, but for me the most damaging bit was that my father didn’t protect us from it and instead minimised it (because he had two young kids with her as well and couldn’t see a way to protect all of us).

Remove this abusive bully immediately and protect your vulnerable children. You don’t need to discuss this with him, just get rid.

I know I'm posting this late, but I really hope the OP will come back with an update saying she left that abusive man and protected her kids.
