Hi, My current husband, father of 2 of my 3 kids is starting to treat me wrong. I am currently with him because I have a 7 month old baby. He started treating my 8yr old from a previous relationship bad. I can tolerate him treating me bad, but not my son. He is just a kid and he shouldn't take it on him. My son told me today that he kicked him and he denies it. I don't know who to believe and if I ask my husband he gives me grief. I have been with him since my son was 3yrs old. I don't let his real dad see him cause he wasn't there for me during the pregnancy.
I dont' know if I should believe my son or who...
Should I move out on my own?
Things are pretty bad now...Please advise.

and wouldn't you feel horrible if your son is being honest with you this whole time (while he's being mistreated and beaten) and all you're doing is questioning the situation?
and isn't it enough proof that if this man treats you badly that he'll do the same to your child who happens to not be his?
honestly, you need to think about why you're questioning your son.
what ever you do i hope your son is getting proper treatment. think about him because in reality no one else matters. you brought this kid into the world and you need to think about him and raise him to be a good kid and not be a subject to abuse. [ es's advice column | Ask es A Question ]

I think you need to set your kid down and ask him to tell you the ABSOLUTE truth of what happened. Ask him for details, and make sure to write it down, or have him do it. Make sure to date this, and date the incident. Then if he still says your husband kicked him, go to your husband.
Tell your husband that he NEEDS to tell you the ABSOLUTE truth. Again, ask him for details and have him write down the date and details, etc. If he claims that he did not kick your son, you need to seek help from Child Protective Services [I'm not sure the number or anything, but try this search]:
