Is this emotional abuse?

[JulesBA]

Hi everyone,
I just really need someone to talk to.Im having the most horrible time.I live with my husband who has fallen out with everyone and blames me for everything.He won’t talk to his family,he’s fallen out with my elderly parents because they held their grandchild for a few minutes and he is so nasty.He has no friends.
Everyday he insults me..I’m a loser,pathetic,waste of space and that’s not the worst.
I look after our daughter all day,everyday ( he doesn’t even have to change a nappy) and I go out to the hairdresser once a month ( with my 19 month old daughter so he doesn’t have to look after after her ) He drives me there once a month which is a 15 min journey.The abuse I get because I do this is horrendous.Im in the doghouse for days after.As we have no friends or family close by I never get a minute to myself.
To top it all yesterday my hairdresser ( who is a woman) invited me out for a glass of wine or a coffee sometime.
Guess what..he’s been screaming and shouting at me creating such a drama over this that I feel I’m not allowed to go out on my own.
I’m trapped by a man who won’t allow me to do anything or see anybody without asking permission.No family on Xmas day and I’m dreading being stuck in the house with me.
Ladies..What do I do?

Thank you everyone and thank you Dery especially for posting that thread.
He has left where we live for a few weeks and I’m going back to my parents house for now.Do you know that I don’t even care anymore about him.Because of him we couldn’t have a Christmas..now I’m looking forward to people who love me and welcome us with open arms.
He can blame me all he likes but lm not being blamed for his unresolved issues xx

Hi @JulesBA - that’s great news. Thanks very much for your update. You’ve done absolutely the right thing and it’s great to know that you and your DD will be enjoying a lovely calm Christmas with your parents.

Reading your post sounds so familiar. I am in exactly the same position as you. I am planning my exit in the next 4/5 months. I've told my family,
Friends, contacted women's aid, a solicitor and my doctor to ask for support.
You don't deserve this. A happier life is waiting for you.
It'll he a rollercoaster. I wake up every day and cry/ grieve for the family I always wanted but am having to break up. Then he comes home and is mean to me and I smile at the though of leaving, I repeat that cycle the next day. Its draining but you can do it!
Stay strong
