[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OP, I know this sucks but please know that things like this tend to work themselves out in the long run. My father was similar to this, and my parents are not divorced. The way things worked themselves out is that I arrived at adulthood with no filial emotion for him whatsoever. Children know who loves them and who doesn't. They don't stay children forever.[/quote]

Utterly tone deaf. You're suggesting a 10 year old should wait it out until 18 to distance himself from a father that berates and hits him. Sorry that you had to endure what you did, but your response leads me to believe you should come to grips with the abuse at the hands of your own father. [/quote]

You misunderstand.  I'm not suggesting anything with regard to the 10-year old.  What I'm suggesting is that the consequences of her ex's behavior is that it will erode the natural affection a child feels for the parent.  Just like my father's meanness eroded my natural affection for him - which I'm utterly at peace with. I mean it's a completely normal reaction to stop loving someone mean to you. [/quote]
