I was in a relationship like that when I was her age for seven long dreadful years. Yeah, there was something that looked like love there,, but the fact is that he was not trustworthy and without that, there's nothing. I pray she get's the strength to leave, it sounds like she's got it gong on having two job offers, and friends. She just might do it yet Cha Cha. You're being in her corner is helping her immensely  What I wouldn't have done to have someone like you in my life when I was having to leave my first marriage. I had no family support, in fact I was running away from them and that's why I stayed for so long, when it was going nowhere.

I wish that Logan didn't think this guy was his father. He really needs to be separated from him, although I don't know what a child psychologist would say. That's what should happen, is for Jessica to get to a child psychologist , after she moves and is working, (not on your dime) and ask what to do about Logan being kept away from Bobby. He's not his real dad, and shouldn't have to deal with his abuses of him. He get's the boy riled up and acting out, and then punishes him like that? It's crazy.

Anyway honey, sorry about the roller coaster, youth are so drawn to the roller coasters in life aren't they? Keep up the good work with Jessica Mandy. Love to you, Liz

  thanks for the answer.  she came up here because we had to oldest boy for the summer.  he did not want to leave so he is enrolled in the school across the street from me.  he is so happy here,  but he still loves his dad.  the baby came up with the mama and she found out when she got here she is pregnant.  it is a girl.  I dont think he believed her and he broke up.  we went down to get oldest boys clothes for school.  he saw she was pregnant now he wants back she had already filed fir custody of the kids.  the only reason he is being so nice he wants the baby' and she will drop the charges.  he has been dating some one else.  she knows it was said he has not gone out with anyone. sorry just get upset about the way he uses her. she will probably read this she is on here to. don't know what name she is using,   mandy876

its abuse sounds sickening
taking away a babys innocence.

he is abusing him physically and mantally
i dont think even prison has such treatment to grown men
maybe he should be used as a slave since he seems to like it.

Always believe the child, because they have no voice except the one person who gets involved.  Since all this is going on, I would just call the cops and tell them to do a welfare check on the child because of what you heard and that you heard that the brother was an addict.  You can't say anything for sure because you don't know, but at least you will get their attention to watch them and the little one.  Poor thing.

Oh, it doesn't matter if he's the real father or if the boy is 1 or 7, the fact is, he's being abused.  If the mother is stupid enough to let somebody abuse her children, then it's up to you to call in child protective services whether she wants you to or not.  Hell, don't even tell her your calling.  SOMEBODY has to be a voice for these little ones, they cannot defend themselves, and you knowing what is going on makes you as bad as they are.

we talked about that to i told her logan is a very smart boy and he will realize that he has a different name than his dad.  he will start asking questions.  she will tell him the truth that his birth dad is in prison this time for the rest of his life.  and has been in and out of prison all his life.  he was charged with child abuse.  he had a young boy when jessica was at her lowest.  but she is now off drugs and doesnt drink unless they go out to parties with their friends. no drugs just drinks.  of course all their friends are here.  she says every week end that he goes out with his brother to gun shows and  she is not welcome.  she said their lives are changing.  they never do anything together any more.  she is so tired of just being the maid cook and baby sitter.  she said she will probably never marry again.  she said she doesnt like all the work she has to do with no help.  she will change her mind.  she is pretty and has her life in order.  they leave tomorrow night she said she is staying away for as long as she can. logan has to go to school  monday.  mandy876

It is SO frustrating and such a sad state of affairs when women will only leave their abusive partner if child services gets involved... I understand why you wouldn't think you would be able to suggest Medhelp to these girls, as you've opened up here concerning their bad behavior towards you. The fact is that you've said nothing untrue, and the things you say here, it would do them both good to hear, It would help to make them better people. With that in mind, if I was at your age, and holding the Ace of Hearts, I might share Medhelp with them, so that they could benefit from others views, and maybe be able to leave this man. But, my number one concern is that YOU have Medhelp as a life line my friend.

All you can do is be the voice of reason, that one light in the dark, that does not fall for his charm, and does not forget that he treats these two boys and their mother so poorly. Having someone consistently tell her that she deserves more is going to stay with her throughout the bad times with this jerk, and may be the just the thing that helps lift her up to leave.

Logan is always going to remember you Cha Cha as one of the most cherished and beautiful people he's ever known. He'll always know you are watching over him. This connection that you have with this little guy is SO important in the grand scheme of his life. Logan's love for you may be the thing that has him choose to love women, rather than hurt them. I just wish that his mother cared more about him. I'll say a prayer for them honey.

Peace

I HATE this kind of stuff! You should direct the mom here so we can talk to her. I understand being abused and trapped by fear but NOTHING should scare her more than her son being hurt! Standing in the corner, to me, without all the other stuff is ENOUGH! This poor kid! Maybe you should call CPS and FORCE the mother to take a stand! A grown man that breaks a little boys arm needs his @** whooped! I'm from the south and know many people who would gladly do it! You have such a huge heart Ms. Mandy and the world is a better place bc of you!

  he will not marry or give her any money.  she is kind of trapped there.  she has to get permission to get a soda pop. he is not legally anything.  he did sign the babys birth certificate.  he says he will keep the baby if they break up.  we can visit if we want to.  i asked him who would keep him while he was at work.  he said my mom.  before i thought i said but she is on drugs.  he did not say anymore.  she leaves her drugs out on the table where the kids can get intit.  she has playgirl magazines  laying out my noece went to get the kids and the oldest was looking at her stupid books,  a 7 year old should not be seeing that kind of trash.  he did not understand  why we were upset.  if i had a little girl with you would you want her to see a mans privates when she was  7 years old or younger.  i see i do understand i was not thinking about it that way.  disfunctional is putting it mildly.  mandy876

a mother who allows anyone to abuse her child is more guilty than the abuser, in my books.
this child is acting out because of the ways he's being raised by this guy, and then being punished on top of it
poor confused sad little boy
this guy should be shown the curb once and for all
he's ignorant and not worthy of being a step dad

Your message is confusing.  However, if this was my boy (I am the father) and mom's boyfriend did this to him, I would whip boyfriend's a$$.  Straight up. There are ways to handle a child and this is not one of them. Boyfriend should not issuing punishment.  It should be mom or dad, not boyfriend.
