[quote=Anonymous]You have to get this dynamic straightened out or go ahead and get divorced. In some cases, kids can be resilient to yelling — I think these are fairly limited cases, but it can happen. But this scenario is a million times worse because this is a stepparent.

Here is the more likely scenario — You are in for a nightmare as your daughter hits her tweens/teens and she naturally rebels in some ways. When she sees this yelling, she is going to be even more angry because this isn’t her actual dad. Her dad will be remembered as a saint, and she will look at you as either a victim of your husband or as the perpetrator who brought this terrible person into your lives. And if he starts yelling at her because she isn’t so “cute” anymore, it will be even more terrible.

I would be telling him that he either goes to anger management or you separate with the intent to divorce. Even if there wasn’t a kid in the mix, I wouldn’t live my life with anyone who kept yelling at me all the time. [/quote]
