I hope this message gets to the awful stepmom who stood by the fountain in Fenton Marketplace badmouthing and verbally abusing her stepson, Jacob, to a fellow mom. Every awful thing you said about Jacob and the countless times you said you didn't want him or that you wish he'd go away, he was well within earshot. In fact, he was many times standing right next to you. You are a verbal, emotional and psychological abuser. He is a child...I'm guessing he's only three years old. He is not responsible for the fact that you have made bad decisions that you now regret, i.e. having a baby with a man you knew already had a child. I am guessing you were aware that Jacob existed when you got pregnant by his father? You'd now like Jacob's father to ditch him because you came along? If all the awful things you said about an innocent child today are any measure of who you are as a human being, then you are hardly a prize worth leaving one's child for- you are no doubt a nightmare to this child, but he has no recourse but to accept you. He cannot make choices for himself. I also heard you tell your "friend", the fellow mom you were with, that you've threatened to leave if Jacob's father doesn't get rid of Jacob. Let's hope that if Jacob's father has any idea how terribly you treat his son, he'll leave you. And what your friend advised is correct-you will have to share custody of your baby with Jacob's father. If Jacob's father reports your abuse of Jacob-yes even verbal, emotional and psychological abuse- you could likely lose custody of your baby. Now imagine your baby in the care of an awful stepmother, like yourself, who abuses and makes your child feel unloved and unwanted just because they think they should be the center of the world. Karma has a strange way of leveling the playing field. Perhaps, it's time you wise up. You are an adult. Jacob is a child. Have compassion for Jacob, for this poor child who not only has to live separated from his biological mother, but he has to live with a mean and cruel stepmother who hates on him because she has to share his dad. Hopefully, someone who knows your name will report you to CPS. If not now, then eventually Jacob will enter school and start sharing your abuse with his teachers. But that could be years from now, when it's too late and you've entirely crushed his self esteem and self worth. You are a detriment in Jacob's life-don't doubt that for a second. You're also raising his half-brother. Wouldn't you rather have your son around a mentally-well, healthy and happy half-brother? You are the center of your infant's world at present. But, that will not always be-in fact, it won't be long until Jacob has a bigger and stronger influence on his baby brother. You'd be wise to be kind, fair and loving to both children. At present, you abuse an innocent child. He will not always be a child who has no choice but to sit there has you verbally degrade and emotionally deprive him. I pray someone will intervene on Jacob's behalf for he has an evil stepmother. read more
