If that is the case I suggest moving out with your daughter UNTIL the nightmare is old enough and moves out on his own. Maintain your marriage only difference is just live seperate and apart and keep that asshole out of your house, as it is your place you have the right NOT to allow him in your home! This may be the only way to salvage your marriage and your sanity!!!

Your daughter comes first. This is hard because you care about your partner but if his son is tourmenting your daughter then your job is to protect what's yours. You do not want your daughter to end up resenting you because of this. You said you can't bear to leave your partner but can you bear seeing your biological daughter be bullied day after day? What is your partner doing about HIS son's behavior?

Sending you hugs.
