Iv been with dh for 15 years married 7.
We have 2 children together and I have 1 from previous. Dh is quite a bully, more and more as the years gone on. Tonight he called my eldest son who is 20 a fat shit and a waste of space!!! Son is trying to find a job and at college part time. Dh hates that he earns no money and doesn't contribute, he thinks son is not making any effort to find work. Dh thinks he is always right and will never listen to reason this is so not the first time he has gone in on my son,.

Why do you stay with someone who bullies his own children? Poor kids.

Your right, my son isn't his, but he has brought him up. Iv been on the verge of leaving, many many times, I'm not sure y I'm still with him, maybe cos I'm scared of taking the leap!!

Can it be worse than this? He's not going to get any nicer is he?

He's not going to improve.
As he proved, in fact, he will just keep getting worse.
Do you want to grow old with someone like this?
Do you want to keep inflicting this vile bully onto your poor DS?
Imagine what lessons your DS is learning, along with the other children.
The man in the relationship is a bully and gets away with it.
They will learn this and mirror it in their own adult lives.

So, you've put up with this for way too many years.
How much longer?
Life can be so so short.
Don't settle for this.
Not for you or your DC.

Have you looked at what separation would look like?
Financially etc...?
Worth looking into. Even if you don't take any action, just the knowledge can be a powerful thing.
