I feel like I am going crazy.
My partner and my teenage son have never had the perfect relationship but for the most part have been civil until recently.
My son and I were having a disagreement which I was handling. My partner felt the need to take over mid disagreement and start shouting verbal abuse at my son and threatened to knock him out, to say I was in disbelief was an understatement.
My son walked away and I was left in utter shock, I had no words and my partners reaction to me was to say "guess I am the bad guy now" my partner was raging blaming my son for talking to him like sh*t and blaming my lack of parenting for the way my son speaks to him.
I couldnt be in the same room as my partner for 3 days trying to process what had happened and was I to blame?
He still to this day will not take responsibility for his actions he blames my son for the way he spoke to him and my apparent lack of parenting.
This isnt the first time they have argued but this is the first time violence was threatened.
Would this be a deal breaker for you? I honestly want him to leave but after his outburst I am scared of his reaction if I ask him to leave. We share very young children together also.
