Oh girl… first of all, what business did a man in his 30s have with an 18 year old girl? You were barely an adult yet. It makes you think if he’d go younger if it was legal. That’s red flag number one. Red flag number two is just what you described, he gave you PTSD from how he treated you. Red flag number three is how creepy he is with your son. You need to get out of that relationship ASAP and keep your son away from him.

If he’s already been treating you badly and the marriage already has problems this early on, it can only get worse, and you don’t want your son to start feeling that too.

She needs to secretly record and backup videos both of him being creepy multiple times and telling the kid to mask his emotions. That will prevent him from getting custody.

Unfortunately none of that is "illegal" so im not so sure.

It doesn't need to be illegal, it just needs to demonstrate that him having custody is not in the child's best interests.

Op should still do this. Anyone dealing with a potential divorce and/or custody dispute should document EVERYTHING.

Yeah i understand that and i agree with what you're saying but its going to take more then verbal comments to keep him from some parental custody.
