So last night my younger “step son” (my bfs son) said he wanted to come here after school today. His older brother is a jerk to him...like all the time. Here and at his moms. But she seems to think it’s funny and he’s treated like the odd man out there. Today he said he wants to live here all the time. We currently have them Thursday through Sunday anyway, but here’s the thing, they’re dad is working out of state now. So he’s gone all the time. We’re not in the best place in our relationship. Like I’ve been trying to leave because it’s kind of a toxic situation and since we’ve had our daughter I don’t like her being around it. I’ve been around for 7 years and every time I try to leave something happens that makes me feel guilty and like I need to stay. He’s 13 though. So I can’t just be like sure, move on in permanently and then if I finally muster up the courage to leave it’s like sorry kid. I’m out. I also don’t want him somewhere he’s miserable. Sorry for the long post. I just need to vent and don’t really have anyone to talk to about it.

This sounds like an awful situation. It sounds like you really care a lot for these boys and you want to do what’s best for the one being bullied. On the same token you need to shelter your daughter from the negative vibes going on. Definitely seems like an impossible situation. So sorry you’re going through this.

Yea it sucks. He told me that last night he told his mom I was a better mom to him than she’s ever been, and it freaking broke my heart. Partially that he feels that way and partially because as a mom, that would crush me if my kid told me that. It’s a sucky situation.

As bad as this will sound, they aren’t your kids and You have your daughter to think about.
Ideally when you are ready to leave sit and talk to him about it so he has closure and give him a way to reach you so he has you to talk to. He will one day be old enough to walk out so maybe you should be there so he has somewhere and someone trusting to go to .
