Husband's Verbal Abuse

1 reply

My husband was extremely verbally abusive to me today. He as a general rule never says sorry for anything he does to me. But my teenage son witnessed the verbal abuse. I wonder what to say to him. It was bad enough for people in the street to look at me. I still feel very bad for my son. What do I say to him as I don't want him thinking that I accept this behaviour from his dad as normal. He dad is now laughing and joking with him as if it didn't happen. Stressed :(

This is going to sound hard sorry but it's reality. Your son would have heard your husband talking to you like this before. It's just that you haven't witnessed it. Kids know far more than we think.
Your son will be learning from you both. How to conduct a relationship. What is acceptable. Etc.
you telling him this isn't acceptable won't work because you accept it.
You need to look at your relationship with your husband.
Being abusive is domestic abuse !
Sorry, be strong.
