Worried about nephew exposed to sister’s toxic partner
A reader says their sister’s ex-affair partner moved in after her divorce and routinely swears, makes violent threats and belittles others while their mother defends the sister. They worry about how this behavior is affecting their young nephew.
Dear Eric: My sister divorced her husband over three years ago and had the man she had been having an affair with move into her home roughly a year after the divorce.
This man swears in front of my nephew. He’s made comments about hitting my sister if she did or said something he’d disliked. He constantly makes belittling or offensive comments.
