When an abusive man flips between being ‘very nice’ and ‘very nasty’,

One the one hand he brings me up a cup of tea in the morning and makes me a packed lunch to take to work and on the other hand he verbally abuses me and threatens to hit me. He's a control freak and controls everything including the finances. He undermines me on a regular basis and doesn't let me finish my sentences if we are having a discussion about something. The only reason I back down is because I don't want to cause a riot and upset the children.

When he does hit me I hit him back. When he's verbally abusive I'm abusive back. I like to think I give as good as I get!

What's going on here? Are we both as bad as each other?

I recently told him I want a divorce but he's suddenly started being nice to me. He makes me feel guilty for not wanting to be with him. I feel like a bad person.

Help! Why do I feel guilty about going to see a solicitor on Friday? What's wrong with me?

I can't believe I'm being so pathetic. Talk some sense into me please.

So you thought you'd disrupt someone else's thread.

I wasn't suggesting you start a thread about this thread, but about your own beefs with MN.
