Hi,this is my first time posting and really need to off load somewhere as have no one else to talk to.
My DD is 4 and has some speech and language issues and other behavioural problems that have yet to be diagnosed.
I have had to fight to get her assessed and heve made numerous phone calls to professionals and written to LEA ,school governers ,paediatricians to get help.
We had an appointment come through to see a clinical speciallist at home so I e mail DH to ask if he could make that appointment.We are lucky to get an appointment so soon.
He sends an e mail back saying
"do I need to be there"
I could'nt believe he had to ask it is an appointment for thr family to discuss DD and establish her needs.
DH has always been verbally abusive when he has had a few drinks and says I say things which i know I have'nt.
Tonight he comes in after a few drinks and I discuss the appointment with him and say i could'nt believe he had to ask if he needed to be there.i have been the one who has gone to numerous meetings and sorted most things out and he turned round and said I have sorted shit out and it's my fault DD is the way she is and I have turned his child into a retard.
I just could not believe he could say something like this and I don't want to offend anyone just quotig what he said to me.
He has said some pretty awful things in the past but this is beyond belief and I am sat here in tears and feeling numb.
How do oyu forgive your DH for saying something like that?
I just wondered if anyone else had had issues with there DH blaming them for their child's problems and whether it's just because I am her mother it is somehow my fault.
I am struggling at the moment anyway and this has just knocked my self esteem even lower.
Is it that he is in denail and this is the only way he knows to get out his hurt by blaming someone.
If that what he thinks of me as a mother how can our marriage survive this?
