[QUOTE="LoveMyDuke, post: 312820"] I'm afraid to call CPS. Brandon will protect his father to the bitter end and I'm scared to death that the kid will accuse ME of things. He hates me. I have never abused that kid. This morning with the water--yea, I lost it, but I have never done anything else. In fact, I have protected him. I told Dave that if I EVER see him touch that child again, I would call the police. He hasn't done it since. But now the tables are turned...it's them against me. If I try reporting anything now, I will be homeless AND at risk for accusations from this kid. A shelter won't take me, not with my dog and two cats. Leaving Duke is NOT an option. I would live in my car before I left him. He is my best friend and like a kid to me. I called a shelter once. The waiting list is "miles long," as she put it, and because I am not being physically abused I sink to the bottom. Usually Dave isn't like this...but there's this disturbing side to him. It's the same thing his kid does. They both "snap" and just flip out...then as quickly as it came on, they are back to "normal." And it's like nothing ever happened. I'm not excusing Dave's behavior one bit, believe me. If anything it is creepy. As for the kid. I'm sorry...I do not care enough anymore to intervene on his behalf. I don't care what happens to him. I just want him to leave me alone. That's all--just stay away from me until I can figure out what to do. I'm not offended by harsh words. They are all right. I KNOW how disturbing this situation is. I just don't know how to get out.... [/QUOTE]
