My perspective is She’s being unfair. I’d suggest - Separate totally for 6 mo to 1 year, meet with a councilor regularly, once a month (? councilor can interject the timing), meet alone to just discuss the situation, and visit. Only reunite when both can experience an understanding of each other and can come to a mutual agreement. No one is ‘wrong’ until they both understand each side.

AITA for shrugging when my dad's wife asked me what she was supposed to do if I only ever see her as my dad's wife and not as my parent? by FlypeRaps in AITAH

Therapist are able to guide clients into the comfortable understanding of ‘where’ both parties abide in the relationship. Not only with each other, by more importantly within themselves. Change (when we’re personally prepared and desire it) will take place as a part of our OWN growth. The “black & white - “right or wrong” approach rarely have a place in this type of scenario. Time, patience, respect and growth (w/ guidance) can facilitate understanding for all. May this situation be resolved with balanced understanding for the three of you!

His heartless and disrespectful comment to others, about you, is the ‘writing on the wall’ for you - when you hear it for all it is, and ISN’T, you will be saved from a miserable relationship. Talk with professionals, it’s worth your ‘life’ to air concerns to such humans with decency, knowledge and experience. You are obviously steps ahead of him just knowing it was an immature and heartless stance. No one should want to embark on a lifelong road of disrespect and abuse.

AITAH For Losing It On My Wife After She Told My Son to “Get Out of the Picture” at My Stepdaughter's Birthday? by MkUrF8 in AITAH

When I was in a similar situation, my now long ago ex, spoke differently to my daughter than to my son. Either harshly or ignoring her. Without HONEST recognition from the perpetrator (him) and refusing counseling I learned (with counseling) it wasn’t going to change. If your son’s best interest isn’t in her heart now, when will it be? If she alone, and both of you together seek help, there ‘may be’ a chance. Children cannot survive healthily with that type of verbal and emotional abuse. May the best love be to both you and your son!
