Heaven forbid if you have a baby, and he throws up, or poops in his pants. What would your husband do???? I am so blessed that my husband and I think the same way...Ian is our baby, and an important part of our family.

I am actively looking for work so I can build up some resources. Our son has life threatening medical problems that are expensive.
Unfortunately, where we live there is no women's shelter and no couselling services, they are a 1-2 hr drive away at least.
My husband has a dog himself (who he always refers to as being mine) and a big fat cat that pukes everywhere. I am going to tell him if that cat pukes one more time he's gone.
I am looking to better the situation whether it be by leaving or getting help.
Thank you for your help.

If you would like some help in finding where you can go for help, just private message me. To do this just click on my name, and you will see the option to private message (pm) me.

I am so sorry about your situation.

Domestic Violence and Abuse: Signs of Abuse and Abusive Relationships

READ THIS, READ ALL OF IT.

http://www.nationalhomeless.org/publ...s/McKinney.pdf ------This is the program I work with, and the majority of these are women and children fleeing domestic violence situations...also, if you need help feel free to contact me

I am a survivor of domestic abuse, it wasnt until it was 'almost' too late before I finally left...20yrs later. Once I left, the amount of help
i received was immesurable! I got councelling for myself and my three kids, financial help, as well as housing help, AND help from law enforcement. I wound up in a shelter for battered women, with my kids. My cousin took in my shih tzu..sadly without my knowledge she gave her away! This act of cruelty was nearly the end of me, I still wonder what happened to her, is she loved, is she safe...how I miss her!
There is help out there, please dont wait...emotional or physical abuse never gets better, it gets far worse, as I found out (the hard way)
Please don't let fear rule you...reach out, there is help out there for whatever your situation may be. Only you can change your way of life, even counselling for yourself and your son is a start.
I pray your situation improves...everyone deserves to be happy...the Lord did not put us here to be miserable/unhappy....my wonderful friend whom I have known for over 30yrs told me that.
She was so right, I finally got it and walked away with my head held high...yes it was the hardest thing I ever had to do...but I survived!
My kids are grown now and I have a man that respects and truly loves me!
Please, Please get help.....

This is not meant to the OP but since it came up...

At what point do we call it dangerous?

Emotional abuse, verbal abuse is still abuse-it's a thin line between it turning violent.

I have been there, it started as sly control, causing self doubt imposed by manipulation, control ranges from imposed guilt to actual threat.

It doesn't always escalate sometimes it goes up and down like a roller coaster of Jeckle& Hyde...but it can all be the entangled web of a sociopath.

Most siciopaths don't use violence or kill, but they're still sociopaths...how do we define degrees of acceptance and tollerance for such abuse.

Look back on my life I've found bruises, broken bones heal fine-its the psychological emotional abuse that leaves the deepest scars.

Anyone feeling they have these issues in their relationships should seek help.

It should be filled with love ,joy and respect. If your married more then 10 years its alimony and child support and if you son has medical needs you will end up in the house. See an attorney and and don't let him know and see where you stand a good man will not ask his wife to give up her only dog it's not like you have 30 animals and your a hoarder.
