Evil Stepmother

[Just Blue]

We are getting him into therapy. My wife and I have given him a safe and trusting space.
I don't know how to go about reporting this without his father getting in trouble.
I don't know how much his father really knew. I think he blindly listened to whatever lies his common law wife told him.

Please have the mother of this child join so I can ask her questions. Please tell her to use her own user name. Thank You...

 

[Ninjaboi]

I am his mother!

Oops...I didn't realize you were in a same sex marriage. So sorry...

Was there any type of court case when you gained custody back? Has your child been to a doctor since you regained custody?

If what your son told you is true then his father neglected him. How the fallout from that neglect hurts Dad should be the least of your concerns.

Getting his father in trouble should not have been your primary concern. And the fact that you did nothing to stop in six years certainly puts your ability to parent into question.

I was staying with them in June of last year because I am severely disabled and was not expected to live very long. For many years I was unable to take care of him myself. If I ever said a word against anything that my son's father or stepmom did I was threatened with be kicked out and never being allowed to see my child.
In June of last year they made good on that promise and dropped me off on the streets of downtown Denver.
I found a wonderful woman and married her. She's a veteran and we used every resource and charity we could to get housed. We moved in December 8th 2017 and got my son in May.

So you were there as well for 5 of the 6 years. I'm glad you are getting you life together but you have allowed your child be abused.

 

[Ninjaboi]

It wasn't as bad as the last few years. I did what I could to stop it and to help.
Please don't judge.
I have heart disease that nearly killed me. My pacer was put in when I was 35. And I have spent the last 7 years going through 19 surgeries and dozens of hospitalisation.

Something smells fishy to me on this one.

 

[Ninjaboi]

I was there off and on. I was too sick to care for myself and am not supposed to live alone. I protected him to the best of my ability while I was there.
I have no family, no money, and severe health issues. I didn't know what to do.
At least I'm doing something now! You shouldn't say things like that if you don't know everything?

Were you too disabled to phone the police?

 

[Ninjaboi]

What does?
Have you never heard of abused woman not leaving the man beating her & her children from fear??
Stuff happens. I did my best then and am doing my best now!

[PayrollHRGuy]

But it wasn't your spouse or ex spouse doing the abuse or so you say.

 

[Ninjaboi]

I was never married to my son's father and to my knowledge he never directly abused his child.
He did treat our son poorly so that he could pamper his daughters.

Ninjaboi...We can only comment on the info you are providing. Thus far what you have stated is that you were living in the same home and were aware of the abuse and did nothing as you didn't want to lose your place there.
