[QUOTE="Fmy, post: 636395, member: 18423"] He will be 18 in a little over 4 months. He has a younger sister at home, she just turned 16. He's never gotten violent with us but doesn't think anything against it. A couple months ago his dad was hitting his new wife (thankfully my kids weren't there). She took off and my ex put a machete completely through his leg. When my ex used to attack me my son would say that I should just not do this or that and his dad wouldn't be mean. My ex also used to abuse my son (my reason for leaving). It got so bad I couldn't let my kids stay home alone with my ex, I never knew when he would blow and I couldn't come between them if they were alone with him. My son HATED his dad for a long time. He got panic attacks and begged me not to make him go with his dad. He even called the cops on his dad. He used to hide under his bed and call me for help. That was 5 years ago when we got divorced. My ex didn't have any interest in a relationship EVER until the last couple years. All he had to do was buy a relationship and they are best friends. I haven't done counseling since group counseling at the domestic violence shelter. Most of the time I don't think about it but lately all of this garbage with my son is making the other stuff resurface. My ex is harassing me again. I moved 100 miles away so the stalking would stop but it's easy the harass and make threats through texting. It's a scary thought that no matter what I have done to give him a stable, loving home, he is still turning out like his dad. [/QUOTE]
