My husband teases and scares our 5 yr old son...not sure why, maybe he was treated that way when he was young, who knows, but he gets mad at me for intervening on my son's behalf, saying i shouldn't make a "big deal" out of any of it, meanwhile, my son is experiencing irrational fears...he refuses to go alone into another room in the house to get a toy or to go potty...my husband calls him a sissy when he cries about the things he scares him with...I have considered leaving, but then he will have visitation alone, which will make the situation worse for our son, not better...I have also raised 2 girls from age 5 and 3 on my own, as a divorced mom for 15 yrs, it was pure hell sometimes, financially, emotionally, etc...they often told me they felt abandoned by their father, not having a chance to hate/love him...he was just not there at all...catch 22?
