I know I have another thread going. Dh has I just lost it with me because I spilt some food whilst serving him- it just fell on the side, not on him and wasn’t on purpose. He says I deliberately made a mess of his food? FUCK. Teenage children bewildered, I’ve had to run & hide…but really…. He’s finally shown his unreasonable arse hasn’t he? How can I be blamed for accidentally spilling his food? All others now eating in silence. I have nowhere to go and he has all the £. Don’t ever be a sahm - you think it’s fine, it’s not, ever. It takes away any agency you may have in your life forever.

He'd have been wearing it if it was me. Get legal advice in the New year.

You need a plan. You have teens, I'm assuming you don't have littlies.

Maybe it's time to get some of your own coin. Start there. He can't stop you getting a job.

Absolutely, even if they are young if over 3 you’ll get free childcare.
get back to work and reduce your dependence on him

There are no ducks - he has everything in his power, there is nothing in mine - I’ve been denied access to everything for a while. Kids ok - youngest just came to find me - isn’t it awful they said “he’s mad for no reason, sorry”… they’ve gone to get ready for bed…I gave them a hug told them it’s ok but they must know really…

You've had to run and hide? OP that's not right, what about the teenagers, where are the, are you safe? I'd start to get my ducks in a row if I were you
