My husband and I have been together since my kids were 3 1/2 and 1 yr. His daughter was also 1 yr. He would never discipline them because he didn't want to be the bad guy. Once they turned teens he decided to step in. Needless to say, none of the kids liked it. Since then, my son has moved out, his daughter moved out but my 16 yr old daughter still lives here. I haven't been able to leave because the past 2 yrs I have been in the hospital 9 times and have had 15 surgeries. I recently got on disabilty but have a long, expensive road ahead of me. Since my daughter is the only one here she gets the brunt of him. He makes up his mind that she has done things wrong and no matter what I say or prove he will not change his mind. He has gotten on medicine for stress/anxiety which worked for awhile but not anymore. He has put me in a situation to choose between him and my daughter. Of course I will choose my daughter but with little disability, no way to work, I don't feel I have a way out.

If he is making you choose it sounds like you all need counseling as soon as possible. You should not have to choose. There seems to be a lot of stress on everyone's part and I think counseling would be very beneficial for all of you. In the mean time you may want to suggest that all involved put themselves in the other's shoes and try be understanding.

Good lord this sounds like my ex girlfriend. She had the same problem only her husband was bi and a cross dresser and just like my ex, you can divorce him for mental anguish and abuse. If you win (and I think you will) he will have to pay for your keep and you'd get the home.
Don't be a fool, leave this jerk and have a good life with your daughter.

Bless you. If there were more MOTHERS like you there wouldn't be so many problems in the wolrd. NEVER NEVER EVER let anything or anyone come between you and your children. THINGS WILL work out for you.

He's just jealous of you and your daughters relationship and mad cause his daughter left him. My mothers ex husband was just like that.
