It is so difficult watching her feel rejected…
I try hard to have the right words for her but it is hard to see her so sad.
Everything has been so difficult for her lately and she keeps coming to me in tears, or with that quick false smile that lifts her lips then drops down immediately, the silent posture and the desperate look in her eyes.
Her dad is not nice to her, not one bit. What can I say to her without pointing the finger on him…? I keep saying to her it is not your fault, not one bit. She is crumbling.
Her older sibling was physically abusive to me, and she heard what went on between her sibling and me. I was hit on a limb, an object thrusted in my upper torso and some kitchen item thrown at me.
It’s becoming horrific. And yet her dad behaves like his daughter deserves no love, no acknowledgement, no support, nothing.do not tell me he does know what happened…he must have been told by one of the children.
I didn’t dare ring 101. I feel lost,confused, helpless, useless.
But I have to sound strong and positive to help my daughter. We need to get out, we are both on the receiving end.
This man teaches nothing to the children, not even love. -
I can imagine how hard it is for you.
But do not allow abuse again. That child who abuses you must feel the law coming down on him. Otherwise he will do it again. One day you will be old and fragile and he will do it. Elder abuse is very common and hidden. It starts like this. Do not allow it.
Show your teeth. You daughter will thank you. You are the example for her how to get on in life.
You have been so strong and you battle your way out. Big hugs! -
I’m in a similar position to you Bridget, except we no longer live with him. Our eldest, who is in primary school, is becoming increasingly physically and verbally abusive towards me and his younger sibling. He has also started picking on children who play locally to us. He lacks empathy and I fear he will grow up to be like his father.
How do we show them their behaviour is unacceptable, when they see no problem with what they’re doing? My son claims to be a victim of me(!) when I put my foot down and hold him accountable for his behaviour. I’m pulling my hair out trying to teach him right from wrong and I’m getting no where. He now refuses to listen to me and insists that he go to live with his father!
