At least he's her stepfather, not her real father. My ex couldn't accept the fact that our daughter was flawed, as he put it. And yes, he also demanded I choose between being a mother and a wife. When I refused to put her into a state psychiatric hospital for six years until she would have been released to the streets, he attacked her and it took her, her little brother and myself to pull him off her.
He refused to get any counseling, any anger management, and was shocked when I threw him out after the time period I had set for him to get help had expired. Since he's been gone, she has done so much better that her psychiatrist now says she doesn't need to see her, she can get meds from her primary.
I'm a mother first and my children get whatever help they need. As a result, they thrive.
Suggestion if you ever seek another relationship. Find someone who has children of his own and is as devoted to them as you are to yours. Make sure he knows their best friends, the teachers they like most and why, the teachers they dislike most and why. Someone who goes to the school to fight to get them what they need. The Man does that for his, and has come along and fought for mine.
