Today after work he had a couple of beers cause he was stress cause of his job(Carpenter), well his boss.Anyway he got home with a bad mood and I new I was going to hear it tonite. He started screaming and yelling at me cause I was online, Of course YT. I just ignored him. Of course I get depress but Im getting help for that. I wish my 12 yr old son was a bit supportive. Sorry, I hijack your thread and posted about my situation. It was mostly to tell you that you are not alone and I understand. I will have your mom and family in my prayers. I really hope your dad realizes his bad attitude before is too late. |
I'm just now seeing this - and Marie - you don't deserve that either...the thing with your son is that he probably can't take sides - he may need help coping because this is also bad for him ...just as it is for Kelly.
We carry what we learn as children throughout our lives....In Kelly's case - her dad is just making himself look bad and one day he could lose his family - Kelly is going to remember what a jerk her dad was for the rest of her life but it doesn't sound like he's violent towards her.
In your case - you need to watch out for yourself or you could BE HURT !! Drinking men are VIOLENT men - they may not mean it but the VAST majority of deaths and assaults are from men who are DRUNK.
PLEASE try to get him some help ...he needs it ...You are doing good getting help for yourself - your son will need you as the strong parent -
Your hubby sure needs to wake up and stop doing this or one day he could hurt you for REAL - not just with words.
I'm so so sorry for both Kelly AND you Marie -
