I am part of a blended family. Me and my husband met, he had 2 kids, I had 2 kids and we have one together. We’ve been together for 10 years now. The first 4 years he completely accepted my daughter, who was 4 at the time, when she turned 8 or 9, he is hard on her and only her. It makes me feel that he doesn’t like her, and it breaks my heart. She came out as Bi last year, and he has only gotten worse with the gay remarks. He makes he absolutely miserable. I am at my wits end. Any advice on what I should do in this situation, will be greatly appreciated!

Nip it in the bud, tell him to stop every time he says something and remind her that you love no matter what.

Its really heart breaking when youre in a situation that will break up your life. I would set boundaries with him and tell him hes no longer allowed to discipline her and you dont appreciate the passive aggressive comments towards her even if they are in a joking manner. He would not stand for his children being treated differently and it will certainly put a strain on the way u feel about him if hes treating your daughter like crap

It’s none of his business what anyone else’s sexual orientation is but his own. I’m sure he has no issue with same sex porn. He’s being a bigot and an a**hole. Her sexual preferences literally do not effect him.
You’re childs feelings should come before yours

If he’s not going to change and he’s made it clear that there’s nothing you can do to change him, then leave. If you don’t leave she’s going to hate you for it when she’s older and able to be on her own, and will most likely never talk to you again unless you leave him. You can do something now and that’s leaving. Choose your child over your husband cause trust me I know how it feels to be chosen over the other step parent.

You have no clue how this is mentally affecting your daughter.

Or live with the possibility of burying your child.
Who’s to say she wouldn’t try to take her own life because “Dad” is homophobic!
My 17 year old family member try to commit suicide a few months back because when she try to tell her mom she was gay,
Mom’s response was
Your going to Hell!
Protect your child!
Leave him. You are her mom and responsible for protecting her. Kick his sorry butt to the curb.
How in the world can she know this at 8 or 9 years old? That’s ridiculous.

Stand up for your daughter and tell that loser to kick rocks. She needs to see you stick up for her. I’d pack his shit the first negative comment he made. He probably likes his booty played with and can’t come out the closet.
Your girl comes first! You need to be telling him to stop with the put downs asap or he needs to leave. Yeah your feeling like this but how’s your daughter feeling? Her wellbeing is most important.
Your kids come first

Talk to your daughter. This is alarming.
Talk to him. Put down boundaries. If he doesn’t respect those boundaries, leave. Your relationship is a role model on how relationships should be. Do you want your daughter to be trapped in a relationship with someone that treats her kids like dirt?
Loose him!!! Because you will loose your daughter standing beside him…

Why let him say things I’d tell him to can it or he go that girl needs you’re support so why she came out bi at 8yrs old at least she’s comfy with herself.
Leave you shouldn’t allow a grown man to hurt your child like that verbally that’s just no okay he doesn’t have any right to be that way towards her nobody does
You need to sit down a have a serious talk with him about his behavior if it dosnt change then you need to leave. Your children are more important and your child’s mental health is at risk. I’m almost in the same boat my son from a previous relationship is being treated differently and I’m in the process of leaving. Good luck momma

Really? Isn’t it obvious? He either stops immediately or you divorce him. Don’t be the mom who chooses her abusive husband over her children. If he says he will stop make sure it actually happens or leave him. One thing I’ll ever understand no matter how old and forgiving I get is why/how my mom chose her husband who was/is abusive to her children husband over her kids. Until he’s dead there will always be be a wall up, don’t let it get to that point for your own children.

Time to put a foot in his butt n protect your kid
My son turned out gay.
No issues from anyone.
He was just accepted!
Family is about love, support and encouragement.
If there is a problem deal with it accordingly.
I choose my children every time.
Omg she is 9. She shouldn’t even worry about sex or sexuality. She doesn’t know what she wants yet. Kids go through a confusing stage So Dont encourage it. Don’t make her feel bad either. Your husband needs to back off it’s your child You need to take up for your kids. She was there first.
Nope. Would Not tolerate.
Divorce him. Your daughter comes first. It’s not easy for kids who are anything other than straight, nevermind having a verbally abusive step dad.

I can’t believe y’all say leave, so proud of yall! My step dad was like this, possesive of the things he liked and wanted me to dress or act a certain way. He got to friendly… Around that time I became confused bi, until I understood what was going on. I was uncomfortable with guys because of what happened. Anyways years later I ask her (my mom)why she’s never left if she knows, she said “what would I have if I left, I asked him to stop being inappropriate with u”. Always choose ur fucking kid. Thank u and be strong.

Put your child first no matter what. You allowing it to happen this long is just as bad as what he’s doing and it’s not okay whatsoever. You either pick her over him or you pick him over her and find someone in your family or her father that will accept her and love her but do not keep her in a home where she’s being mentally and emotionally abused.

Well for one he’s probably bi sexual and can’t admit it and your daughter has the balls that he is lacking so there for he’s jealous and she holds her self better than he does and there for he will not give a inch I’m just saying
As someone who was in a similar situation with my ex…my only advice I can give is to leave!! My oldest son is 16 my youngest 13. My ex who I was with almost ten yrs would belittle my oldest son all the time. Like, he was jealous of him or something. I saw what it has done to him over the years. And I hate myself for staying with him for as long as I did. I got away two yrs ago and I still see the effects it has on him. For your child’s sake leave as soon as possible

Ummm…a 9 year old isnt even hormonally or mentally ready/thinking about sex. It is a fad at that age that should pass. Maybe talk to her about where she heard it from and tell her she is too young to know that yet. Just be a kid. All that will come after first cycle. For now…shouldnt even be talking about sexual preference.
Yeah, talk to him and tell him you notice and are not okay with it and if he doesn’t start respecting your daughter your going to leave!
