Throwaway account as my bf knows my other Reddit account.
my boyfriend and I were dating for 3 months before he told me he had a kid. He never let me come over bc he didn't want me to know because he was afraid of how I would react as I am very vocally anti kids. In those 3 months I definitely fell in love. I fell head over heels for him and once he realized he was falling in love too he told me about his kid.
Like I said I already felt strong feelings for him so I was willing to give things a shot and I met his kid. I brought some toys and his favorite candy and put in genuine effort to make a good impression on the child. The kid was really sweet when my bf was around and the moment my bf left the room to use the restroom his kid threw his Nintendo switch at my face causing a black eye. I figured he's having a very hot time with his dad seeing someone new and not having all the attention so I gave him plenty of patience and took things at the kids pace.
Well it’s been 6 months since then and the kid is literally one of the scariest kids I've ever seen. He puts on the sweetest front when my bf is around, the second my boyfriend leaves the kid is hitting me, pulling my hair, spitting on me, throwing things at me and then his dad will walk in and the child will run to the other side of the room and pretend he was playing with his toys the whole time. He also has thrown my belongings in the toilet and has thrown food and drinks at me.
He does things like this constantly and now it's gotten to the point that he does little things in front of his dad too and pretends it's accidental. For example a few days ago we were all playing soccer in the yard and every time I would take s break he would kick the soccer ball as hard as he could at my face. He did it 4 times in like an hour. I know where the behavioral issue is coming from so I'm trying to be understanding and I really try not to force myself into his life. I just don't know what to do. I've never shown him it bothers me or that I'm angry about it because I feel like that would fuel it more. Where do I go from here?
