All I want is to be treated with respect! - 10/16/01 04:01 PM
I am getting so tired of the way I get treated sometimes from my Husband...especially right in front of my kids. <BR>Things have improved 10 fold with us, but every now and then he slips back into his verbal abuse! This morning was one of them. He is always very cranky in the morning, and usually he is gone before we get up and if he is I make a point of not talking to him for at least 1/2 an hour, well we slept in and I was in a major rush. He was making breakfast (which I wasn't aware of) and my sweet 5 year old asked to have cereal which I said "sure honey", when we walked into the kitchen I said "oh do you want french toast sweetie?" well he blew at me saying "why are you asking her? thats what she's going to have! Can't you see I'm cooking that! DOn't ask her if she wants something else! blah blah blah, so I told him "you know what I'm not talking to you, I don't have time to argue or listen to yelling and its not something to get upset about." So he gets on me for something else, starts yelling and I refuse to answer him and he yells at me some more and calls me a pig headed BI*** a couple of times then starts slamming stuff down, I couldn't believe it! all the time my 5 year old is just watching all of this, and my 11 year old is listening in the other room. It kills me to have my kids listen to this! This is a typical kind of situation that arises with him and its not a way to talk to ANYONE! Of course if I say anything about this...which I am going to after work, he'll turn it around to be my fault and start yelling at me again!<BR>How do i make him see? How do I get the respect I deserve!??? Should I say anything to him tonight? Or should I just drop it?<BR>I am just steaming right now and it makes me want to cry to think my girls are listening to this! [img]images/icons/confused.gif" border="0[/img]
