You don't understand how much these feelings make me feel like a horrible person. I'm going to try and write this the best way I can. It's hard to put feelings into words sometimes. I am 25F and I'm dating a 47M he has a son who is now 13... When my bf and I got together three and a half years ago, everything was great, he shared 50/50 custody with his ex wife. Let me give some context to my bf and his ex wife's relationship. They were married for years and then they ended up accidentally getting pregnant and then divorced about 2/3 years after the kid was born. My bf and her would constantly argue bc when the kid turned three, his ex wife kept saying he was too young to start being taught manners and stuff. You know how it goes, if a theee year old bites someone and brings the blood, you don't beat the kid, you just teach it by timeout and telling it no. Well his ex wife thought the kid was too young to even be put in timeout. So anyway, the end up getting divorced and she takes me bf to court bc she doesn't think he's fit to have the kid at all, tries to bring up anything and everything she can against my bf. Doesn't work. My bf ends up getting 50/50 custody but she goes on to make it to where my bf hardly sees the kid for years. Fast forward to when my bf and I got together, his son came over every other weekend and on Wednesdays. We stuck to a schedule other than when she wanted to go somewhere and had us keep him longer. The kid is a hellion, has jo respect for us. My bf finally got him to where we could peacefully live in the same house without it always being issues. Taught him how to properly speak to people when you want something instead of demanding... just stuff a kid should be taught way before the age of now 9/10... we deal with this for about two years and the last year is where it has got crazy. The kid decides he doesn't want to go to school so against my bfs better judgment, without even telling him, his ex wife pulls the kid out of school. Now she can't do anything with him. She calls my bf and complains telling him he's gonna have to quit his job and take their son and teach him manners that she can't do it. ITS FAR TOO LATE for any manners to be taught at this point, the kid calls me ugly all the time, calls me stupid, won't listen to any rules.. my bf does the best he can but the mother has ruined this kid, he's entitled. Thinks everyone owes him something. Fast forward to the last six months she now lets the kid decide when he wants to come over here which messes up any plans me and my bf have of alone time bc anytime we have anything planned, you can bet his son is calling to come over. I remember once when we were gonna be having him for a week I went and bought a bunch of groceries of things he has ate since k have lived here, well suddenly none of that he likes now bc it's not organic, his mother only fixes organic food.. it's just always something. My bf always has my back and he tries to teach the kid and disciplines when it's needed but I HATE this kid. I can't stand him. He's so rude, always talking about how we are poor, (his mother married a rich older older man and now she has all the nicer things) we aren't poor; my bf makes good money but bc my bf doesn't drive a brand new truck or have brand new shit, were poor. He always talks about how my car is old and ugly. Just stupid shit I can't stand. Usually when he is here I am here through the day alone with him and I just can't stand it hardly anymore. He doesn't listen to me and I just don't know what to do anymore. 😭
