Unable to cope with feeling of worthlessness

Husband is very unempathic and angry with me constantly. He admitted that he doesn't like a certain aspect of my personality, which is why he is irritatable with me.

We are on a family weekend away. I may not be my usual self. But I have sociable and always polite. Fil has been on at me all day with digs. I almost stood up to him but then felt bad because he has paid for the whole thing. Then i feel bad for letting him treat me this way. Husband then gets angry with me because he can't get angry with his dad.

I am a teacher. The kids disrespect me and are rude. I was sworn at on friday for nothing. I have only one friend. Even my own Mother calls me useless for a "joke". She genuiely thinks it's a form of affection, like a dopey puppy.

I think i am a good person. I do actually stand up for myself but I seem to have enough people around me who make me feel worthless. It hurts so much. I can't regulate my emotions and shrug it off.

Would you be happier separated from your husband? It must be hard to be criticised so often.

Your Mum calls you names, your husband sounds passive aggressive with his parents and is projecting onto you. That child at school has his own stuff going on, for whatever reason he directed that at you. That isn't personal. You are allowed to assert yourself with family, and especially with your husband. Can you seek therapy for yourself soon? You sound ready to start asking why you think this way.
