Thank you all for replying to my message. The time you took is much appreciated. Others perspective can be scary but eye opening. I hAvent been on since. Your replies hit me hard and I think I have been in a state of denial, not wanting to face it. I’m still in love. His son is not my son, I am his step mum I guess. Still I care about him a lot, I don’t want him to see these things. I don’t want him to become that. Threats ( if you don’t shut up I’ll punch you in the face- even though he didn’t when I challenged him surely saying this is never acceptable?) and actual physically grabbing my hair and Trying to scare me when
mad during arguments have happened since. That can’t be good? Think I’m still trying to deny it for what it is because i don’t know how to be without him. Still trying to justify it and forget it. I might turn to counselling. Something to give me perspective. I hope you are all well now and thanks again for your support.
