I hate my boyfriends son and I think he has a mental illness

  • As you describe it, the child doesn't have a mental illness, he's just stupid and poorly educated (these two are strongly related). I can't see why you have to tolerate this, though. The first thing to do is to tell your boyfriend about your strong aversion against his child and make sure he understands that jealousy has nothing to do it with. He is the "weak link" and your contact with that kid is done through him, so talk to him about this. You can suggest reducing your contact with his kid or his own intervention in his kid's poor education, or both, depending on what you want. Hope this helps.

    • Thank you. And I really don’t want to think the child is just plain stupid. But he really doesn’t interact well with my child or other kids. He isolates his self most times or is so mean my child refuses to play with him. I’ve talk to my significant other about his child but he doesn’t want to do anything so I have had to resort to avoiding him if he is around

      • If the kid avoids people doesn't that mean he would avoid you too? LOL
        Isn't that a win right there? : )
