He's not the BIO dad, is that correct? DO NOT let him destroy your relationship with her.

No he is not her bio dad. But he might as well be. Her real dad is a piece of crap alcoholic. Since divorcing he doesn't have much contact at all. My current husband has been with us since daughter was 3. My husband has been a great dad to her. That is one thing about his character and heart I do really respect. He has loved her just like his own. He doesn't treat them differently even though our other two are his bio kid's. He has been there for my daughter through everything. Even though I know his comment was way off base, I don't think he would ever harm them. His stomach just turns when he hears about some sicko harming children. But he is not using good judgement with the things he is talking about.

I do believe my husband is very controling. Not to a sick point like where he controls my every move. But he has a HUGE problem with admitting fault. He puts blame on everyone for everything. His dad is the same way. He thinks he is always right.

You know like just the other night when we got into that arguement you would think he would have appologized for his behavior. But that is beneath him.

You are right I do think I need to seek out counseling. He has really done damage to me.

As for the relationship with my daughter I don't think he could ever destroy it. We are so close and talk about everything.
