He over reacts about the smallest things in front of our newborn and before our child arrived, on p of this in public on a few occasions or in front of his 12 year old son. He has choked me unconscious, beaten me once in a night from hell where I actually thought I was planning to die and he was telling me he was really planning to kill me, has threatened to kill me a few other times, spat in my face multiple times, done thousands of dollars worth of damage to my personal belongings including my car. I feel so upset that my own healing is taking so long.

He was extremely ‘self centered’. Known don’t make identical mistake I did by getting involved with a Asperger man. He criticized me constantly and when I ld him it hurt me, he’d say he was just very honest. Notice, I finally found out his diagnosis from his mother! There was no way to resolve any problem apart from me getting exasperated and giving up, He thought he was always right. Now I’m striving to put myself into one piece again. Usually, he’d only invalidate my feelings with remarks like, just forget about it or what are you, a victim, So in case I ld him something hoping for some support. I tried to hide my feelings from him to avoid starting arguments.

You deserve to feel safe and to be in a healthy relationship. My husband is extremely verbally and emotionally abusive and on p of that has a few mental illnesses, however he does not admit the abuse or the mental illnesses. I don’t look for to run the risk of him keeping my kids. I really wanted to get divorced but he says he will fight to keep the kids.
I don’t know if he’s just a jerk or if he’s actually abusive, my Dad is a complete and utter jerk.
Whenever we have problems of our own, he shrugs them off and tells us that they are stupid or petty, he forces us to listen to all of his problems.
It just feels wrong, By the way I might just be overreacting. There are just examples. He also consistently talks down to me, and whenever he asks me to do something and I don’t know how, he acts like I’m the dumbest person ever. This is the case. He drinks regularly, and sometimes when he does, he starts insulting me and my mom. Needless to say, he comes home and takes it out on us, whenever he has a bad day at work.
I don’t know what so that’s and I don’t know if so that’s even anything to get worried over.
He yells and threatens to break and destroy our house and belongings, whenever he doesn’t get his way.
He tells me that I’m lazy, stupid, brainless etcetera and after that he will start yelling and throwing things. For instance, I confess to Him. What I am struggling with now is the 29 year old daughter called to ask me why I warned her not to leave her 4 year old daughter alone with her grandpa and to keep a perfect eye on her. Generally, she spoke to him very kindkly saying there was a man therapist who could work with him in a supportive and confidental way. That’s where it starts getting intriguing. I also said I did not like to talk just like this and maybe nothing will happen but I had found on our dresser apicture of a 3 year old child -I t was a cassette cover. I asked him why he did not throw it away.
He just said.
Somehow I convinced him to come to a sexual addictions counselor who said she thought he was asking for look for to hide it. I have Jesus Christ and I do not need any one else. Remember, I called him immediately at work and said why did you put this picture on the dresser, he said he did not look for to hide it. Hello to every soul who encounters this post….I am not one for labels, never are. Anyways, after he blew up at me on the day of my baby shower. I left my husband after 32 years.
I am not in danger any more.
The mental illness definitely didn’t make them inherently abusive in any way, not saying none of them were abusers in their private lives.
There was not hitting. Internally I am still fighting extreme anxiety over my children. So here is a question.u can choose to be happy or u can be miserable though these hard times, that one do you think goes faster? A well-known fact that is. On p of credit repair, u must push through stay positive, I hear you love I have been there. This is where it starts getting really intriguing, right? You are right, it’s possible that his irritability from treatments could escalate his already present abusive behavior. Abuse is all about power and control, and people control their partners b/c they believe they are entitled to do so.
For the most part there’re many people who have cancer or depression who do not hurt their partners, that shows that I know it’s a choice, not something that inevitably happens. That’s a fact, it’s unlikely that this behavior type will improve, if he has felt entitlement wards you for if you are in contact with her you can let her know it might be an option for her if she decides to leave, in Tulsa, So there’s the Domestic Violence Intervention Services and the 24 hr hotline number loads of us know that there is 918 743 They won’t be able to send will get lots of us know that there are many reasons why a survivor will choose to stay in that relationship.

I spoke up as to how ridiculous he was being over this type of a small matter.
He continued pushing me over and pushing his head into my face swearing and threatening me. While feeling more brave, so he got right in my face in front of our baby and threatened to push my eyeballs through my f cking skull, I recently voice recorded one of his explosions.

For the most part there’re a lot of people who have mental illnesses or who was drunk who do NOT abuse their partners, like you pointed out.

Undoubtedly it’s true that if an abusive partner has less inhibitions under the influence, now this could escalate the already present abusive behavior. He was in tulsa’s most wanted and is to jail plenty. Her mom’s name is and lives at. I’m pretty sure I want their mom safe as well so they can see her, I’m happy the kids are safe. Accordingly a woman in Tulsa, OK has been abused by a man named -. Her name is -. So it is all I can think to do. Please find her. Oftentimes please attempting to stay anonymous being that I have the kids and I know he will come after me By the way I have custody of the children now.
She goes to her mom’s house often after he hits her. I can’t put myself or them in danger. That’s right! He hits her and he was hitting her children. Please someone see this and do something. It sounds like you went through an incredibly abusive and unsafe relationship with your husband. Fact, you did not deserve the majority of the abuse you suffered from him throughout the relationship and you don’t deserve to have to continue to deal with his abuse even now. It’s so unfair that you are having to work through not only the emotional trauma of what you went through but also dealing with the financial fallout from his poor financial decisions. You see, gaining back your financial freedom or dealing with bad decisions from your abusive partner can certainly be difficult after abuse but I know it’s possible and reaching out for it’s an important first step.
