Woman's partner hates her children

Dear Amy: I'm 51 years old, and have been in a relationship for over three years with a man who hates my grown daughter and her 10-year-old son (my grandson).

My daughter was 16 when she had my grandson. I was a single mom, and the two of them lived with me for a few years. She eventually got into low-income housing.

She doesn't drink, smoke or party. She works hard, and struggles to get by.

I pay for her car insurance and phone bill.

This is why my boyfriend says he hates her. He says this takes away from us.

I own my own house, my car is paid for and I pay my bills. I also have savings.

 

He pays for the electric and heat at the house. I buy 90 percent of the groceries.

He has moved out three times in the last year, and says it is because of her.

He's mean to my grandson. He can't even look at my daughter.

They don't know the whole truth, but I'm sure they feel his tension. He brings this up every day.
