Re: Celeste - You are probably right

[Guest guest]

Celeste you really need to go with your gut feeling and act on it. If you are

feeling something is wrong, it probably is, do whatever it takes to protect that

little boy. He must be scared to death. Can you not talk to someone near you

and get help. It sounds like at the least your little boy is getting bullied

and hurt at the hands of a jealous brother. Please get him out of that

situation, though your home, it may still be continuing while your asleep, in

another room etc. I hope and pray that he has not been internally harmed, as my

neice was being rapped by her cousin from the age of 8-12 at her g.mothers while

the g.mother was there and when it came out commented she thought sometimes

things were funny, it was the cousin! Check things out, and get out if you

have to. I wish you both well. and find a safe place to be.

No my son does not talk about his father or the brother. He didn't even tell me

he did tell my oldest son about the sexual things. And in regards to him choking

my son, my son told me two days after the incident. My fear is that the father

has told my six year old not to tell on his brother as he would get in trouble.

It scares me that he probly doesn't tell me half of things that happen. There

was one impiticular time that my son didn't want me to go to work, said daddy is

mean to me. My husband spoke right up before my son could say anymore and

defended himself. My son then stopped and didnt' say anymore. I am a stay at

home mom now. I just don't know what to think things seem so secretive or

something. I feel like my husband is stopping my youngest from talking, but will

not admit to it.

Re: Celeste - fight for your rights

I don't know the answer to that, Celeste. All I can think of is that you

document the incidents as much as you can, as they happen. Take pictures of any

damage to you or your son. Keep a journal detailing what your hubby has said

regarding your son, his son, you, whatever. It's not definite proof, but it

shows your effort to have proof.

Also, will your 6 yr. old son talk about his father and how he is treated by

this particular half-brother? What about your older children? Will they testify

for you? I would think they don't have any loyalty to their stepfather? Just a

guess.

Once again, I'm just trying to encourage you. I have never had to deal with

anything like this, but am only suggesting things I've heard others say about

their situtations. I understand your fear for your youngest, and it's a risk,

but probably very necessary before something awful happens to one or all of you.

Take care.

Thank you for replying, it is so helpful. I am not sure if you saw my last

posting about the older boy and his dad and there strange relationship. One that

he will not discipline the child, and covers up for his wrong actions. I just

can't take it anymore. I am working on getting out! Just very scared that for

whatever reason the court will say that he get visitation and the boys need to

be together. I am scared to death, to have my younger son have to visit without

me. That is what is holding me here. If I stay, then I can at least supervise

the visits. And what if I dont' get the supervised visits with him?
