I have a son-in -law that is mean to my daughter and my granddaughter,who is not his child. I have talked to my daughter and tried to get her to confide in me but she says everything is fine. The whole family thinks her husband is a jerk . He is load and bossy and ride and mean to all the neices and nephews. Many of them are scared of him but some seem to love him and obey him with resspect. It would not bother me to see her leave him . I do not advocate divorce but they really need help. he loses his temper all the time. he swears all the time. He calls them names and says they are worthless. he is resally a big bully. My granddaughter is scared he might hurt his new daughter or her mom. He punches my granddaughter. I told her to start documenting what he does to her and her mom and keep track of everything . If he hits her and leaves a mark then I will take a picture. I dont see him as dangerous but I do see him as a mean bully. It is affecting the 14 yearolds life and then new baby(2) is so sweet . But she has a mean streak and a temper. My daughter is kind and a great mother. she is a first grade teacher. I have picked up my oldest granddaughter several times so she could get away from him. I just dont knnow what to do..

It is not as bad as it could be. But we come from a family that has respect for each other and it is hard for me to handle watching how this man is such a bully. So I do just watch and I am there fro my granddaughter and my daughter. I told her yeasterday that I will stay out of the mess (unless he hurts my granddaughters or her) but if she wants to talk or discuss her otpions I am here. I told her that she cannot be the obnly one trying to work on the marriage it takes 2. I said she should consider telling him that they need to go to family counseling...or else we shall see what she does. tahnk youo all for your support bab

oh my a yr old well still will respond I hope you persuaded'your daughter to get the hell out of a bAttering man's grip. she needed to go to a woman's shelter along with whatever kids'sh had in order to keep from letting him build up to actually killing'her. I do hope she got away from him without further'
problems.yes she needs to divorce a batterer, why protect that'piece of garbage?
