      This is just a vent really. I don’t really now what to say, just that I keep saying I can’t take much more but I have to keep carrying on. Episodes over the last year or so have become more frequent. There are several problems which we have, such as my health issues and him being away a lot but I’m a normal relationship, both woidl feel supported, not totally worn down and emotionally battered. No physical violence but he even says (removed by moderator) that he never hits us or uses violence so seemed to think it is all ok!
      He takes all his stresses out on me and the children & always blames it on us & whatever reason he decides at the time. A few weeks ago he kicked off in the middle of the night because I didn’t want sex (funny that, when he’s been so horrible, that I don’t feel like it!!!), went off about lots of issues he’s not mentioned before, tantrum like a child and went to sleep on the sofa. He’s meant to be a grown up!
      I never know what his mood will be but can always see, if I’m with him, when it’s brewing. We had a rubbish day, him having a go at us all for different reasons, tuning through a red light while driving, driving too fast,me rushing around as he was going on his trip, to make sure everything he wanted to do was done. He had such a go at my daughter who wasn’t well anyway.
      I don’t know what to say really. I’m just so far up & my daughter has started to play up again. Hardly everdoes as I ask but a temper blow out tonight.
      I just want to hide from it all. I know the answer is to get out but I have no job due to my health issues, even though I’m trying. No money
      I’m not taking them away from their bedrooms & their home.
      So, just a rant. Sorry to waste time but I needed to get it off my chest.
      There’s a lot more to say but I’d be here all day! I appreciate all you lovely ladies and wish you all well xx

      Just a message of solidarity really I’m afraid I don’t have any answers. My husband kicks off and tantrums like a child if I refuse sex as well – I used to get pushed out of bed and made to sleep on the sofa – I just learnt not to say no it’s over quicker than the fight. Got woken at (detail removed by moderator) cuz he had woken up and wanted sex – no consideration for what I might want/not want at that time of he day.

      Just breathe and keep planning. Can you get an occupation order and get him out of the house? I know it’s easier said than done but you can worry about finances later when you have some head space from him.
