I think I've told you ladies my h and I have gone through ups and downs, but the past 3 months had actually been good outside of h going out a bit more than I would like. Well that all ended today. I got up with DS and let h sleep in. He came down at 11 and immediately turned on loud rap music. I told him it was too loud and it was almost time for DS to take his nap. He freaked out, called me a b*tch, and said he couldn't take it anymore and was leaving. He went upstairs, packed his stuff and headed to ny (where he is from). He told me multiple times that he hated me and tons of other cruel things that I don't want to repeat. Thankfully he didn't fight me over DS, but here I am alone and I think it's for good this time. I plan to take DS to the zoo when he gets up just to have a good remainder of the day and hopefully he will forget h yelling at me. I just could use some t&p's as I start to navigate how I'm going to move forward.
Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear this. Definitely will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Ultimately you have to do what's best for yourself and your son. No one deserves to be verbally berated. I hope that everything works out the way it's meant to be. ((Hugs))
Oh gosh.. I am so, so sorry. I can't even imagine. For what it's worth, it sounds like maybe your H is a little unstable? That's just such an extreme reaction to such a benign situation. (((hugs))) you and your LO will be in my thoughts.
7/5/11 MC at 8 weeks. 5/17/12 BFP, twins EDD 1/20/13! 6/20/12 Baby B's heart has stopped beating. 8/31/12 Baby A is a boy! And is perfectly healthy and thriving. 1/19/2013 emergency c-section, Thoren is perfect. 3/1/2013 told i will never be able to conceive again. 12/16/13 told they were wrong!
Just like pp said, when someone reacts so irrationally there is nothing to do than let the situation play out in their own heads. Just focus on yourself and your little one (which it sounds like you were doing already!) And let him try to justify acting like a total ass. I'm so so sorry and please come here for support. What is your support like IRL? Do you have family or friends close? Are you working? I'm so sorry again, no marriage is perfect and trust me we have yelled plenty of obnoxious things at each other in the day but you deserve some stability. :-(
So sorry to hear that. So many t&ps your way for you and Taylor. I haven't been following tb all the time anymore, but sounds like this outburst thing has happened often? You don't need that, you don't deserve that. Focus on you & being the mom of cute little taylor. If you need anything, or need to super vent, feel free to message me
You are a great mom! To think of your LO's needs in a time like this must be very difficult; I am sure you have a thousand things you need to do instead of going to the zoo, so good for you.

I am sorry to hear that! T&P your way! Nobody deserves that type of verbal abuse! Stay strong and hopefully you have a support system by you, but know we are here too!
I am so so sorry! I am sending lots of thoughts and will be praying for you. Stay strong for your little man, but rely on those around you for support.

Thanks ladies. DS and I had a great rest of the day and I'm trying to just enjoy the quiet for tonight. I'll update you all when I know anything but I really appreciate all of the t&p's!
Just WTF. I'm late to respond because I went to San Fran this weekend to take a break from my own fragile marriage. I can't believe your h would say such horrible things in front of your son. I forget whether he has mental illness... Although he must. You and you LO deserve soooo much more. I am so impressed with your reaction. Let us know what happens, sending you strength and peace.
I'm so sorry, sounds like it's been building for quite some time. If he isn't going to respect you as the mother of his child, it's probably best to go your separate ways. But I'm very sorry you and Taylor have to go through all this.
I know we are strangers on the internet...but we are here for you. HUGS!

H came back last night and didn't say anything at all - he made a steak (random) and fell asleep on the couch. Lovely. I decided that I needed to calm down before I made things worse so I just left him alone and plan to talk to him today.
I've decided that IF he feels like he wants to try to make things work, he has to agree to couples counseling or I am done. As some of you mentioned, he does have some issues - he's on multiple anxiety medicines that really are in place to keep mood swings/anger in check. He will go from happy to freaking out extremely easily, and when he does, he says really awful things. I don't think the current meds are the right solution and am going to mention that I think he needs to either talk to his doctor again or find a new doctor. I'm also going to agree to go to therapy alone - mostly to figure out how to deal with all of this!
I'm fully confident that I can go at this alone if needed; I have a great job and have family that I could move closer to - but at the end of the day H is a good dad to DS, CAN be a good H when he wants to be, and we have #2 on the way. I feel like I owe it to the family to give it one more shot, especially if it's something that can be dealt with.
Thank you all SO much for your support! It meant so much to come home and see everything last night.
I haven't been here much lately and had a SN change so you might not recognize me, I just want to give you a big hug and let you know I've been thinking of you since I read this last night. You've seem to have your priorities in order and know what you need to do. I hope everything works out for the best for you and your babies.

Has your H's doctor considered Bipolar disorder as a possibility? We have a family friend who would go through very similar ups and downs, and once she was diagnosed and on the right medication regimen it was like night and day. I can't even tell you how impressed i am with your strength and perseverance through this ordeal, you're an amazing person, and a great mom. Hang in there, and remember that we're here for you.

This. DH just got diagnosed with bipolar II disorder. It was so helpful to go to a psychiatrist instead of just our normal doctor. Our normal doctor had prescribed antidepressants, which isn't necessarily the best thing to be on if you have a mood disorder. (Personally, I think regular doctors should NOT be able to diagnose and prescribe mental health medications, they just aren't qualified!) The psychiatrist prescribed a mood stabilizer instead, and he'll add antidepressants/anti-anxiety on top of that later on if it's necessary.
I think you are one amazing woman! You are in my thoughts and prayers. Counseling and proper medication is necessary to get both of you to a good enough place to make real decisions about your family and marriage. Good luck, and please come to us when ever you need to.
