Are 'joking' death threats

A sign of emotional abuse?
As in husband joking he's going to murder me and cut me into pieces.
I know I'm still counting the signs and deciding whether or not to leave but this knocked me for six.

No it's not a 'joke' he's trying to intimidate you and your poor DD.
You should leave him.

BiscuitMillionaire · 05/04/2015 21:50

You know what's really great about this? You're only 24. You have almost your whole adult life ahead of you. If you leave him, you have plenty of time to enjoy being single, to find out who you are, to build a great relationship with your precious baby, or even to find someone who is affectionate to you and respects you. If you leave him. Please do it.

Which of the children did he say that to? And is he ever abusive to them?

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 06/04/2015 09:24

I don't find it a bit funny. I think he's twisted. Saying that to your children. That's bound to plAy pm their little minds.
Please call womens aid.
You can't stAy with this Man.

Yes they are.

Jesus.

You need an exit plan, my love. Are you ready to leave?

tribpot · 06/04/2015 10:39

He said this to a child? No-one normal would do this.

cozietoesie · 06/04/2015 10:43

It's such an incredibly mean and nasty thing to do - and to involve children in it goes beyond my normal experience. (Although I guess that that's just an extension of his other treatment of the OP, it's worrying that he could be so care-less about the children's wellbeing and willing to use them in that way.)

I'd be preparing an exit plan if I were the OP.

cozietoesie · 06/04/2015 10:45

Also.

Have you any inkling of what he might be saying to the kids when you're not there, OP ? (From anything they might have said to you for example.)

ALaughAMinute · 06/04/2015 10:58

Hope you're okay OP. How are you today?

Justusemyname · 06/04/2015 11:49

You are already in an abusive situation and it is becoming more serious. Would you leave if he hurt or killed your baby?
