Me and my mom moved in with my sister about a year and a half ago. Everything was going good until my sisters ex-boyfriend called her. She hasn't talked to him in months. He wanted to know if he could see her and spend a night or two at our house. She had to think about it and finally came to the conclusion that it wouldnt hurt to let him stay a few days. Just to hang out and stuff. Well when he got here he didn't come with an overnight bag, It was a huuuuge suitcase and we knew, He wasnt staying for a few days. He would go back to his moms house every once in a while and bring back some stuff, a little at a time. Eventually he had brought back loads of stuff. Well he was living with us for a few months and my mom and sister owuld leave their purses downstairs at night. He would always stay up until 1 or 2 in the morning watching TV. Well my sister eventually found out that he was forging her checks! WE called the police and got him arrested. All this time we thought it was him paying rent, It was really him forging her checks and taking her cash from her account. He was in jail for about 3 months and when he got out he made this sad fake story about how he is going to have no place to go and where will he live and loads of crap. SHE LET HIM MOVE BACK IN WITH US!!! this time it was no fake checks or stealing money, He is sooooo verbally abusive. She was such a strong woman and wouldnt take crap from anybody. Her self esteem is SHATTERED and believes what he tells her. He completely FLIPS OUT for the tiniest things. He flips out on me all the time. On a daily basis I get yelled at by him. Well what happened tonight is what drove me to wrire this. I was taking a shower and my mom told me what happened. Everything was calm and my mom and sister and dad were watching tv. He comes out of my sisters and his room and goes to the laundry room. He asks my sister where his socks are. She says I dont know, Check in the clean laundry. He opens the dryer and see's that the babies clothes are in there. He asks who's these clothes belong to and my sister says it is the babies clothes. Then he tells her to fold them now. She says I will do it in the morning, I mean its really late and she just wants to relax. He SLAMS the dryer and SLAMS the laundry room door. She says CALM DOWN! ITS A PAIR OF SOCKS! He storms into the garage and slams the garage door. She goes into their room to put on her pajamas. He comes flying out of the garage and flying into the room and slams the door. He started to SCREEEAM at her telling her how lazy she is and how she does nothing all day but sit on her fat :guilty: He calls her a lazy son of a :guilty: and some other words I rather not say. EXCUSE ME?! She works 6 days a week AND takes care of a baby!! He comes out of the room and into the garage. My mom was expecting for her to come out but she didnt. She walks in and the light is turned off. She asked her if she was going to bed, She said yes and my mom could tell that she was crying. My sister told my mom about what he said. Just the tiniest things makes him go into rampage. We want him out so badly but we are afraid of what he will do when we tell him to get out. If a pair of socks makes him that mad, imagine how mad he will be when we tell him to get out. Oh by the way, He has Bipolar disorder and he is a chronic liar. At first we couldnt afford to have him out of the house financialy, But now we can be fine without him. What should we do? HELP!
 
How did your sister meet my husband? :sad2: This is why I'm filing for divorce.

You need to get him out of your house. Next time he flies off the handle like that, call the police and then file a restraining order.

Good luck to all of you. :grouphug:
 
This is not a good environment for the baby. Whose baby is it? Is he on probation from his last arrest? I would inform his probation officer of his wild temper. I cannot believe your parents allow this criminal to live with all of you. If you have noticed a change in your sis' personality, can you just imagine what effect he will have on the baby.....?

Get him out.

It is my sisters baby, And the boyfriends. Yes he is on Probation. My parents are the best parents in the world, they really are. My sister is also the best mom in the world. The baby is usually asleep when he flips out.

I agree with the previous poster.....someone needs to call his probation officer immediately and get him out of your house.

Ahhhh...disneymama: we think so much alike!!!! :thumbsup2
 
Whose house is this? If it is your mother's, I cannot believe she is allowing it! He'd be out of my house faster than you could say, "Change the locks."

Guys like that do NOT change. They say they'll change. They beg and cry. They apologize. They go to "Anger Management" classes. They go to counseling. But one thing they do NOT do is change.

I learned a long time ago that the best thing you can do is tell the woman who you care about that you love her and that she does NOT deserve that stuff. Then tell her that you think she'll be happier without it, and that you will help her if she decides to leave the guy. (I'm assuming you would actually be willing to really help.)

But women who stay with those guys cannot be convinced to leave until they are ready. "But I love him...But he's the father of my children...but he's promised to stop beating me/drinking/whatever...But I can't afford it..." But, but, but. Don't expect her to leave right away; it doesn't happen much.

Also, be prepared for him to threaten taking the baby if she leaves. They all say they're going to sue for total or partial custody...they never do it. Tell your sis NOW that he's going to do it later, so it'll be easier for her to believe he's FOS when he says it...though most women believe he'll really do it, just to spite them. He won't. Guys like that don't want to be saddled with a kid - not even part time.

I'll add you all to my prayers tongiht.

Oh, and the "enter" key is your friend, g. More people will read the entire post if you put in a few spaces between paragraphs here and there. :)

I think they can all turn it on and off like that. Part of their endearing charm. :rolleyes:

I can say from experience, this is absolutely true. Sad, but true.
 
I know from my own personal experience that a person will not end an abusive relationship until they're good & ready. It's so sad that there's a baby involved.
 
Oh, and when she leaves...

If you happen to have big, strong brothers (or friends) who care about her and are willing to go talk to the guy and tell him that she's done with him and they don't think it would be nice of him to call her or harrass her in any way, well...that DOES seem to help the punk manage his anger.

Not very DIS-like, but VERY effective.

I absolutely agree :thumbsup2 I'm not sure why your parents sat there and allowed all this to take place; I assume it is not their house and either they feel they can't say anything or they are afraid of this guy.Be wary of confronting him outright--this guy is looking for a fight. The next time he starts ranting and screaming, call 911. Let the police sort this out.

Of course, you need to know that if you go to the police he will be very angry and very threatening. Prepare yourselves--contact the YWCA or other shelter for victims of domestic violence. You are all being abused verbally. He may easily escalate--it doesn't take much to set abusers off. Don't allow yourself to be abused by him any longer. You and your mom need to get out of there NOW, and your sister needs to go with you.
 
Honey, you are awfully young to have to be seeing all of this stuff!! I wish I could come and help you in person! Here is the information for the domestic violence center in you town (going by your profile)

Safety Shelter of St Johns County (Betty Griffin House)
Hotline number: (904)824-1555
PO Box 3319
St Augustine, FL 32085
Administration: (904)808-8544
FAX: (904)808-8338

When you are in a safe place, somewhere that he won't be able to hear you talking, call their hotline number. They will be able to help you. You need to let them know everything that you told us and they will be able to tell you what to do. Like the other posters said, his probation officer needs to know what is going on, but you may be able to get the shelter to call them for you.

Take care and be safe! :grouphug:
 
Heck you are 1 year younger than my own dd. Is it possible for you to beg your mom to move out of there?

Your life should not be centered on your sister and her abusive boyfriend. It is very, very sad what is going on.

Please, please do this, sweetheart. Talk to your mom, too. You all need to get away from this guy. :grouphug:
 
Bumping hoping the OP sees it and gets some help.
