      Hello ladies

      My husband got angry with me (detail removed by Moderator) over something trivial. Earlier in the day he was affectionate. I made him jump, I thought he’d heard me.
      He became revengeful, saying,’ (detail removed by Moderator).’
      If it had been our adult son who made him jump, he wouldn’t have said anything to him. I felt angry and told him to grow up. I get fed up with keeping quiet. I’ve read that you have to be careful with reactive abuse,they will turn it against you.Anyway I apologised. My son says he’s petty, I agree. The day started out well, sun shining, had fun with my dog. What went wrong. Sorry, just needed to tell someone. Take care. X.

      Hi Toffeeapple,

      So sorry that you’re going through this. The truth is that abusers will always find something to get angry about. Changing moods unexpectedly keeps you on your toes, walking on eggshells, trying to appease them to avoid the consequences. It’s very controlling and not okay, you deserve to be able to live freely without his aggression and nasty words.

      You have nothing at all to apologise for here. I’m glad that you have this space to share in.

      Take care and keep posting,
      Lisa
