Clover, no negative feedback here. I'm going to address your staying with this man because of your bond with the 13 year old. Doing quick math you've been in this child's life since he was a baby (toddler). You may not be biologically or legally his parent, but your emotional attachment is real. It might be stronger than some bio parents and children.
Reading your posts this guy is financially abusive. There are plenty of people who stay with an abuser in order to keep their kids. It's not a healthy situation, but some times we have to chose between the lesser of evils.
Before anyone jumps all over me, I realize Clover staying with this guy exposes her to future financial abuse. HOWEVER it sounds like she is taking steps to protect herself financially. I, for one, am not going to criticize someone who loves a child and wants to remain in his life.
