She Found Out Her Ex’s Stepson Was Bullying Her Daughter, And Her Ex Wasn’t Doing Anything About It, So She Stuck Up For Her Daughter And Claimed Her Ex’s Kids Were Not Her Problem
This 34-year-old woman and her ex-boyfriend broke up about five years ago. They did have a daughter together– who is now 10-years-old– but their relationship ultimately ended after her ex got another woman pregnant.
Since then, they have been co-parenting, with her ex getting to see their daughter on the weekends.
More recently, though, her daughter has been complaining about going to his house because, apparently, her ex’s stepson has been bullying her daughter. And to make matters even worse, her ex actually hasn’t done anything about it.
For context, her ex’s stepson is 15-years-old. Given his age, she didn’t expect the teen to be acting out toward her daughter.
“So I was shocked when my daughter told me that he would hit her, kick her hair, and push her down the stairs,” she revealed.
On top of that, her daughter claimed that her ex would just pretend like he didn’t know what was happening.
Her daughter’s half-sister has been making her daughter’s life hard, too, and reportedly keeps taking her belongings.
That’s why, after her daughter finally came clean about what’s been going on at her ex’s house, she decided to give her ex a call.
To her surprise, though, her ex just minimized the situation and claimed the behavior was just “kids being kids.”

“And that our daughter should get over it,” she recalled.
“Also, his other kids need more attention, so if my daughter can’t deal with that, she shouldn’t come over to his house.”
Her ex’s response seriously frustrated her, too, so she ultimately screamed at him– claiming that she didn’t care about his other children’s problems. Instead, she told her ex that he needed to stop mistreating their daughter.
Afterward, she just hung up the phone. But, the drama was far from over because her ex’s wife wound up sending her a long text– accusing her of being a jerk for saying that her ex’s kids aren’t her problem.
Anyway, she thought sticking up for her daughter was justified and the right thing to do. However, she now isn’t sure if telling her ex that his other kids weren’t her problem really was a jerky thing to say.
Do you think her ex should be using his other children’s issues as an excuse to justify the mistreatment of her daughter? Did she do the right thing by sticking up for her own kid? What would you have done if you were in her shoes?
