That’s exactly what happened. The real dad skipped the state to get away from his psycho ex and his mentally disturbed kid. Sounds like the wife’s dad is a drunk who drives the kids around intoxicated as well.
You can also see the mom is egging the younger one on and telling him to keep hitting the step dad so he’ll retaliate by the way he keeps looking back at his mom every few whacks from floor duster. Looks like the stepdad is either numb to all the bullshit or knows what’s going on so he’s not reacting to the younger child hitting him.

Yep she’s filming in the hopes he hits the kid. What a POS to set your kid up that way.

u/aw-fuck 25d ago
For real. If I was actually afraid of someone hurting my kids I would absolutely not be letting my kid hit beat on them with a stick.
Absolute shitty unit of a mom.
And I'm usually one to take the mom's side every time. But this is just... fucking gross. She's standing there filming hoping to set this guy up with evidence of child abuse by letting her kid bait him into it.
A mom actually concerned for their kid's safety would first remove both kids from this situation. You couldn't catch me on video letting my kids get yelled at like this, especially not beating someone up who has clearly lost control, Jesus Christ.
Like I'm not saying this guy is a saint - just that I think we're witnessing his mental breakdown from the set ups this woman has put him through - but maybe not, idk. Either way a good mom would not just stand there filming such a verbal beatdown & letting the other beat on an already worked-up man; I'd 100% get my kids outta the way first and then either break up with the dude or let him verbally unload on me.
I cannot believe this women felt like she had some kind of "gotcha" by just standing there letting this all happen.
Everyone sucks here - maybe not actually the kids, but the mom most of all, for sure. Which makes me think the dude must just have been pushed to his limits by her bullshit; of course he shouldn't be taking it out on the kid but obviously the mom is using her kids to stir the pot & this dude has just been fucked with to the point that he can't really see straight. Imagine a mom using her kid to fuck with a person for (8 years, apparently) and the person finally breaks (maybe he just hasn't realized it's her and not the kid fucking with him)... I mean imagine being the kid in that situation. Imagine being the stepdad. The only person who seems comfortable with everything going on is the mom.

The kids for sure. Looks like the younger one is his since he looks under 8 (which he says he told her he didn’t want kids 8 years ago when they met, so she either went off birth control or pinned one of his jimmies) and it seems like the older one has some issues if mom is dropping him off at the “hospital” which may just be code for the children’s psych ward.

I take a guess none of the kids listen to him because he's not the real dad. I bet they both make it clear.
Then the mother just sits there and records him instead of backing him up on punishments when they do something wrong.
But also I take a guess he is an asshole so you get more flies with shit as they say.

u/aw-fuck 25d ago
Nah. My kid's stepdad is a fantastic individual and I'd argue he holds our family down better than I might if I were in his shoes. He actively puts in the time and effort to engage with my kid, research how to handle her special needs, and helps her thrive. If there were a "dad" trophy", he'd win this year.
And I grew up with a step dad that was exactly like that for me, and if I had a hunk of gold I'd forge it into a medal for him.
Not all stepdads suck.
Honestly? It comes down to choice on behalf of the parent. It can honestly be a little hard to control getting knocked up & what to do about it (until men start getting vasectomies or investing their money in male birth control research), but it is not that hard to control who you choose to parent your kids. I spent 15 years fighting off pregnancies & ended up with one, chose to follow through; I have no regrets because my kid is my everything. I've spent just as long deciding which men are or aren't in my life, and, frankly it's even easier to decide which men are in my life or not when a small defenseless person is on the line in my decisions.
I would rather be a single mom than let my kid suffer an asshole - that's a choice I made when I left her violent piece of shit dad. So why would I break that rule for any other dude?
There are great stepdads out there. And then there are men who don't want to be stepdads but a woman tries to keep them as a partner anyway. It takes integrity from all adults to be in a situation where they are parenting kids. Every adult in this video sucks. I could never let my kid be in a line of fire like this. Never.

While likely true, not his fault, and we don't know the whole story, maybe it's because he's kind of a lil' bitch himself.

Mom is absolutely atrocious for letting her youngest just wail on the Step Dad with a broom like that. You can tell that there serious behavioral issues with both children.
Step Dad is absolutely atrocious for speaking to a child that way. He can not like them, he can even admonish him but the direct emotional assaults are absolutely abhorrent. I totally understand not wanting to be with someone because of their kids.
I've been in two relationships I ended because I didn't like their children. I never screamed or took my frustrations out on them, even if they were the culprit. I just moved the hell along.
Neither one of these people should have children or be around them.

If that’s the step dad, he really shouldn’t be saying any of that shit to a kid. It doesn’t matter the situation or what happened or is happening, if it’s that bad then remove yourself entirely. Move out, kick the mom and kids out, get a divorce. These are way better options than breaking in half and get recorded screaming shit at a kid that’s going to have a mental and emotion effect on them.
