Have been trying not to notice dh is controlling and horrid, and getting worse. Not violent but can call me a effing bitch in front of dd. And act like he hates me. Finally found out it’s emotional abuse. Tfft- I thought I was going mad.
Still find hard to get head round.
Dd and ds, now 12 and 14 were brought up hearing dad yelling at me. Ds would come and give me a hug and tell me it’s all right. At 5 or 6. Not funny.
Now dd called him out for being abusive and said she is seeing the school counsellor.
Tonight asked him to pick up towels and he said I was being grumpy and swore a lot. I said, let’s not end on a bad note, I just I don’t want to be sworn at.he went on again, denying he’d sworn at me. Dd could hear so I said, sorry you had to hear that. She didn’t look up from her phone, but said,‘I’m used to it’ later gave me a hug, which was pretty cool.
Of course I feel utterly crap..how do I be a strong support to her and ds while I figure out waht to do?
