[QUOTE="FTN, post: 201363, member: 4458"] Yeah, I'm surprised I haven't left yet either. Its mostly because I'm afraid SO will hurt herself if I do. I mean, how would you react if you're in her shoes? It would tear her apart. "He left me because of the damage done by my pedophile, abusive, drug using, alcoholic exhusband to my youngest and I." As far as co-disciplining goes... her "father" regularly beat her and possibly molested her, not to mention molested her sisters. The only contact he, and his equally charming new wife, are to have with us is through email. We've tried working with them in the past over issues, but they've been belligerent and obstinate as you might expect. The counseling is Thursday mornings. Time can be arranged before or after the session for she and I to speak with the counselor. We'll definitely do that this time. The only time I've had to use any amount of force was to grab her arm to stop hitting things or her sister. SO works afternoons to evening so she hasn't been able to provide any real or consistent discipline so its left up to easy child #2 who is a child herself. We have, what seems to be, a feral child on our hands. I really need to leave. [/QUOTE]
