Is it normal to become immune to abuse

[elliebe13]

Just sat there while my husband told me I 'think I'm too good for everybody' and to 'stop fucking laughing as it pisses me off' and I realise how numb I have become. I feel sad that he spoils what could have been a lovely family for him. Days out are better when his oppressive presence is absent. When he gives me the silent treatment it doesn't even bother me anymore. Sometimes I fantasise about leaving but he's ruined my credit rating and I've got debt from my year as a SAHM. I don't want my son to think this is what relationships are like but I couldn't bear to share custody with him.

You're 25. Life is much, much too short to live like this. I would say nothing and plan, plan, plan.

And yes, you can just switch off from it after a while in my experience. Once you realise it's not you, it's him, you sometimes just look at the events unfolding. I used to enjoy predicting what he'd say next.

Thank you everybody. He's still ignoring me. Putting my beautiful son to bed feeling so guilty and sad for him.
