21 years of marriage, controlling bullying behaviour, been a year when the waters were calm and I dropped my guard and he's back to his old tactics.
Catalyst was the car broke down a few times and not been fixed properly, same old joey mechanics but won't take my advice on anything. Went through christmas hols without a car. Was ok on Sunday, told not to drive too much as it could break down again. took it one place and lo and behold it broke down again.
We have multiple kids one with a disability especialy mobility, 2 different schools, lots of after school clubs, hospital apps, grocery shopping, I go to college to study. So I told him we need a reliable car that will last and not break down because it's not practical without it. Even if we have to buy a new one on a lease. He flipped and accused me of trying to keep up wih Joneses and even mimicked me at one point when I was trying to make my point. I'm not saying we have to buy a brand new spanking car, just a reliable one even if it costs abit much. Not talking to him after he mimicked me like that. Feel heart broken and haven't felt like that in a while but it's a familiar feeling. But I don't want to cry. Instead I'm angry!
