New, need objective advice

My dh and my dd (not her BD) do not get along. In fact, I have learned that when I am not home, he swears at her and my other two kids, and has told them that he doesn't care about them. This seems like odd behavior for someone who doesn't care. This sounds like someone who wants to be mean on purpose. I get along with his two kids, who both know that I love them and would do anything for them.All five of the kids get along and consider tthemselves siblings. The latest torrent of verbal abuse was heaped on dd today, and was witnessed by her sister. It was totally uncalled for. I have been tolerating too much, I fear, and have had enough. I have read other posts about the "accidental" things.Here, it hhas been accidental tripping with the vacuum hose, accidental kicking in the shin once. I call BS. I hate to go through a second divorce, but I have no hope that this will change. Any advice? Anybody been here and been able to mend relationships? Thanks.

Is this new behavior? Any changes in life? Stress at work, adultery, drug use including alcohol? Has he had a physical exam recently?

I agree with the others about the kids. Many a marriage has been broken up by kids who once mature regret what they did to their parent by false accusations.

You'll have to talk to him about this before taking any action and see his side of it.
