I'm not trying to be rude, but for havens sake of course you should leave him. You are his mother and his protector. Don't ever put a man before your children.
I don't even want to tell you what I would do to my boyfriend and his sons if they made fun of my mentally handicap child. I will tell you one thing though, he wouldn't be my boyfriend very long.

You have to put your son first. If this means leaving your boyfriend then so be it. If your son has a disability he needs as much support as he can get, not somebody putting him down while his mother lets them get away with it. Have you spoken to your bf about this?

Yes. I'm sorry this is happening, it is a hard choice to choose between someone you might look on as your protector and someone you must protect. But you MUST see this clearly. Your son is handicapped and 'picking on' is just a very loose term for bullying. If your son was being bullied (which he is!) by ANYONE you would step up wouldn't you? If it was happening at school what lengths would you go to to make sure it stopped?Bullying is harmful and only gets worse the longer it is allowed to go on. Bullying that is left unconfronted and unstopped leads to actual abuse. This is happening in front of your face. How can you live with a man who bullies your son? I understand that you love your boyfriend for qualities that he has but look at the flip side - do you really want a man who picks on those - CHILDREN - who are weaker than him, and who has taught his own children to do the same?Do the right thing. Protect your son.

 You are your children's #1 protector in this world, a role that's all the more important when one of them is handicapped. Bringing people into your childrens's lives who dislike them and mistreat them is letting your kids down in a very big way. So the answer is you do whatever it takes to make a positive environment for them. If you can't make your boyfriend and his children act responsibly, then yes, you do leave.
