My DH is an absolute jerk.

It all started this morning when DH tried to stop DS from watching TV and get on with his lunch. He then went on saying (in front of DS) that ever since DS was born DS has changed his lifestyle and he had to put DS in priority in planing everything and he cannot do what he likes to do.

I stopped him at that point and asked him stop complaining like that in front of DS. This is not the first time DH talked like this which makes DS feel like he is a burden to his own father.

DH then got angry with me and started complaining against me being a useless wife/mother blah blah blah and said something very humiliating to me. I was angry and upset I said if you think I am so bad why would you pick me as your wife and I am more than happy if he would just leave and get another woman. He was furious. He then asked DS to go upstairs and then picked something to hit me (not in front of DS).

When DS came downstairs, he started telling DS that I am a bad mommy and I had slept with other men. I was furious at this point because what he was telling is not true.

He was talking about a man that I met over 10 years ago for God's sake! DH and I were dating back then and I wanted to break up with him. I then met another guy and dated him for couple of months before DH asked me back (which I did and the rest is history). We were young, we were not married at that time. After DH asked me back he just won't stop accusing I had slept with that man which I denied hundreds of time. After 10 years he is still talking about it and now this time in front of DS! I am really sick of this man. He is traumatising me and DS! He bad mouth me in front of DS and DS repeated after him saying mommy is a bad mommy I want another mommy.

I have done nothing wrong to deserve this.

OP- your child is learning every single day, you are both modelling the sort of behaviour that he will display for the rest of his life.

My daughter saw and heard domestic violence from birth to around 2 1/2 years old and she is now an adult with a personality disorder that is directly linked to witnessing that abuse. She can't regulate her own emotions because at a vital time in her life her dad failed her by hitting me repeatedly and I failed her by not leaving soon enough. I would do anything to go back and undo the trauma that is still affecting my adult child 20+ years on.

You need to ring the police. As a matter of urgency. He won't change. He is turning your child against you and HITTING you for gods sake.

OP, please listen. This is why you need to leave. For DS as well as yourself. Your husband is a criminal: hitting you is assault, which is a criminal offence. He thinks he can get away with it, because he always has up till now. Please don’t him continue.

Doodly, thanks for sharing this painful information. I hope you and DD can recover fully from what you suffered.
