Thanks, Ifaith, Mercilessly Nuked, and Norabird. How hard this is to do. It always makes me laugh when you call him man-child, MercilesslyNuked. I have been telling him how infantile and like a toddler his behaviours are, he always got so angry at me when I said that. OH - his sexual behaviour I upgraded to a 13 -year olds - that didn't make him much happier either!
Norabird, I know it is hard to believe from my wishy-washiness here in these posts, but before I met this family, I was known as a strong, confident, positive person! I am in the arts, and even when I got horrible reviews in public newspapers I was able to shrug it off. (inside I am scared shitless of people, but at least the image I portrayed was that!)
When they slander and malign, it eats away at your confidence, slowly, so you do not even know it is happening. I never was afraid to stand up for the ones being bullied, I was one tough woman. That is how I came to meet my WBF - I saw he was being exploited, and I wanted to help.
Typical co-dependent? Probably. But I have helped others, and this had never happened. My ex has helped many people in trouble too, it never happened to him. He is retired professor, and he meets many teens, many troubled ones too in serious crisis, did years of university interviews of teenagers, but he said he has never met children as manipulative and conniving as these. I was conned by them in the beginning. It was only my ex who saw what they were about and warned me.
He saw my WBF as just a man being tricked by his kids, and too weak to control them.
