Okay, this is just blowing me away. The fact that he did this, the fact that you didn't get you and the kids away from the house BEFORE he could do this...the fact that your son... A CHILD was actually more of an adult than either of the two adults in his life......

I feel so bad for you, but honestly....(and I'm sorry if I sound harsh) this was unacceptable.

It's not any longer a matter of choice. This man is doing an incredible amount of damage to your kids....and unfortunately, even tho you 'warned' them....so are you, by letting it happen---and while you may not think you are 'letting it happen'...that is how your kids are going to see it, the rest of their lives.

I KNOW from where I speak. Kids don't have to be fair, when they are hurting....and it takes many many years of growing up and having their own life experiences before they realize that there are circumstances more complicated than the black and white they will live with, until they do see it. And some kids NEVER do.

It's clear....seriously...it's clear. And if you don't see it...let me show it to you.......that man is evil, hateful, hurtful and probably more mentally unbalanced than you even give him credit for. And he is HARMING YOUR CHILDREN.

You need to go. If you don't...you're as good as an accomplice. I'm so sorry for you. But you need to stop throwing up the excuse your daughter is ill. I'm not saying she's not....but if this man was physically beating you and your son up as often as he is beating you and your son and your daughter up emotionally, is her illness a satisfactory reason to stay AND KEEP WATCHING / EXPERIENCING it happen?????????

Make no mistake...physical bruises heal over time. Emotional scars DON'T. Ever.

Please get out while you can. I fear now more for your children than for you.
