Twisted:
i have been married to a man for 2.5 years
and now 6 month's pg. I am 34 years old
and have two daughters 13 and 15. I
devorced my first husband 13 years ago. I
had such high hopes for this marriage. I
married a man that is 10 years older than
myself. He has never had children and his
longest relationship was 6 months when he
was 28, he's now 44. That should have
been my first clue. We moved into his
house and all hell broke loose.
Everything is always wrong, nothing is
good enough for him. I don't make enough
money, even though I pay my share of the
bills, he is always saying how he has to
pay for my student loan, but I am the one
that makes the check out and it comes out
of my check book, not his. Everything I
do is done, stupid and I even hate to be
around other people with him, because he
always cuts me down, I am so un-easy when
he is around. I am un-organized, stupid,
un-educated, a bad mother and a all
screwed up, so he says. I graduated from
a two year program and currently working
in my field. He is an engineer and he's
very smart. My oldest daughter isn't
doing that hot in school. Ninth grade is
rough and I think I should let her work it
out, she's trying and that's good enough
for me. He's on her constantly and
refuses to let me handle it. He knows so
much more for someone that has never been
a parent. Things were getting better for
the last year and we went to couseling and
the couselor helped him, mostly he would
stick up for me and tell him he's wrong,
he even fusses if there isn't a towel out
for drying his hands. I am just so sick
of his drama, surely everything can't be
all the bad. I'm pretty laid back and my
goal was to create a stable, relaxed home
for these girls of mine. Little did I
know that I have been doing that for years
all by myself. Sometimes I just want him
gone. I think of ways to kill him, even
though I would never. I know that if I
leave him and take childsupport and part
of his land, he will kill me. I know this
to be true. It's like I have no place to
call my own because this is his house, his
rules, his life and I just can take the
verbal beatings anymore. I hate him. I
hate him, really. He thinks he's my
father, his sister thinks I should leave
him and she doesn't know how I made it the
two years, his entire family knows how
cruel and rotten he is too me. They know
that all he does is yell. I just don't
love him anymore. Now I have another
baby, to raise on my own, which wouldn't
be so bad. He thinks I had this baby for
him........... I can see it now, I don't
feel as if he would be an good father for
any child. I feel like he drove me so
over the edge that I went crazy for the
first year, drinking a lot and acting
crazy, no I feel that he doesn't have much
power over me anymore, just that fact that
if I leave, I will die. He knows I have
no family, no one really to turn to,
except his sister and I can't really do
that because than his poor mother, who I
adore will be so upset. His mother thinks
I should just get out of his way when he
acts up. Now, I get in his face and want
to rip his eyes out. I also have my own
little dog buisness, I have four dogs now.
I can't even rent a place with dogs. My
credit is getting better and better, as I
have been working on that for a few years
now. I almost think that I could get my
own home, a place to call my own. Not a
place that is his. Any advice, how do I
get the heck out of his house.

This may not sound like the right thing to
do but its exactly what I would do!
Just leave.Make a plan-save money,a
lot of it,and leave! Run and go somewhere
he cannot find you and after that file for
divorce. I hope you can get out.Please
keep me updated on what you do.Where do
you live?

Your husband sounds identical to my
ex-husband. I was married for 7 miserable
years. He destroyed my self esteem and
broke my spirit. It took everything in me
to leave but I had to because I was losing
myself. I have 2 daughters with him and
as they grow older he expects more and
more from them. If they aren't perfect he
lets them know (and no one is perfect but
him). He has never been physically
abusive to anyone but he is horribly
verbally abusive. This is so damaging.
Getting out was the best thing I ever did.
Please don't waste any more time. Get
away from him as soon as you can. Life is
too short to be unhappy.
