My grandson has endured 14 years of physical and mental abuse by his step-mother. She also abused his older brother, who left home at 17. He is 19 and a year behind in school, because she wouldn't allow him to make up a 7th grade math class in summer school.
Last year, she grounded him 28 weekends, for trivial things, like her not unlocking the door for him and he crawled thru the doggie door. He is required to walk everywhere, including 2.5 miles home from school. Every present we sent him, she ordered it returned. We took him a car with a remanufactured engine, for his 17th birthday. It sat in the garage for 2 years. After weeks of not being allowed to enjoy a weekend with his friends, he said he was going to go in, after she went to sleep, and blow her brains out.
Since November, his dad has told me 3 times, when school is out or before, he will be kicked out of his house. In January, He went down stairs in his boxer shorts and step momster threw a fit. Started screaming at him. He told her to chill out. She went upstairs and slammed the door. His dad told him if he didn't adjust his attitude, he was out of there. He tried to explain what happened and his dad choked him. He broke loose and was choked again and again. He called me hysterically crying.
We had to do something so, reverse mortgaged our home and used the money to buy a home for him. He moved in last week. She text him "since you no longer live here, don't come around unless dad is home." She canceled his cell phone and told him, "You owe me $235 for canceling your cell phone contract."
He went to pick up his clothes and all locks were changed. He went thru doggie door and her son called her. She said, "Get the F### out of MY house." Her son and daughter, who are older and still live at home, both told him, they had been told to call the police if he came on the property. We were able to get his car.
My son is so angry, he says he never wants to see or speak to me again. This woman has brainwashed him against his sons and me. He won't even go to see the house we bought for his son. He told him, "maybe in a month, I'll come see it." He also told him he doesn't want to see or hear from him for 5 years.
I am so happy to have my grandson out of the abusive situation, but so sad that my son has joined the HATE that his wife has dumped on my grandson. Any suggestions?
