I do have to say that even through all the miscommunication and the long road ahead of us I do love my husband and I still believe that our foundation is strong, we just have to reinforce the structure. _________________ It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not.

Ok I'm in a weird mood due to my tension headache....but....
Thread titles.....inspiration coming from song titles or lyrics......
"Always look on the bright side of life"
"The long and winding road"
"No more the fool"
"Rah rah ah-ah-ah!"
You can turn off the sun, but I'm still gonna shine.
"I am smart and I am happy"
"Don't stop believing...."

PS: It takes two to have an argument....I'm proud of you for not arguing or yelling back....his emotions are his to deal with....

ick.....is he still in therapy?
I hope he doesn't do that in front of the kids.....sounds like someone frustrated but all the same yanno....he is a grown man....and you may be his wife....but that doesn't mean you are his verbal punchbag so to speak.
Can I ask.....when he wasn't around and you were on your own...how were the kids? Like Behaviour wise?
Just some thoughts that popped into me head lovey.....stay well....and the kids too.
PPS: Define your boundaries.....(says me lol) but seriously....he wants to unload like that.....tell him he either acts like an adult and talks about it calmly with you and treats you with respect without yelling in the yard like some weird guest from Jerry Springer....or tell him to go find some other someone who will listen......and you will listen when he is calm.
(Man I have no idea why that kinda made me go when I read it)

Hi
The title of my thread is sorta a song title. There is an old Elton John song called this song has no title.
Anyway....When he was not here the kids and I worked very hard on the schedule and rules etc. they were miserable but we had meetings and talked and the 3 of us knew we can say anything.
Now they do not talk they yell in frustration, NONE of us tell D how we feel and keep distant if we tell him about things that happen. My guess is his judgment.
He bickers with them and argues little dumb points and they both have become very conditioned to do this.
The other day I told him he needed to back off the kids, and as much as I know Ivy would yell at me, I told him I did not condone his behavior with them and that I will be handling the displine until he is able to understand what the goals are. Sometimes you need to walk away from an argument with a 10 year old. Especially when it is irreivant. D has really been lashing out at S and sometimes L in his fristration.
He tells me he no longer sees the dumb councilor he had, I sent him the name of someone I have researched I am not sure if he has called yet.
He needs help. He just came in and drilled 7 questions at me in a row, I asked why he is asking soo manhy questions, he said he was trying to have a conversation.......last time I looked drilling questions wasn't a conversation but I played along. If I can help him I will but I will not put up with the abusive aspects of this relationship anymore.
The kids are happier in ways with him here and unhappier in other ways. No one feels emotionally secure. Well I do in that I know I will always be OK.
He does go off in front of the kids, mainly because they are always here. It is pretty hard to avoid my kids.
I mean I know I am not perfect and neither are my kids, but we do try and when we fail we admit it and move forward. He just plays the same tapes over and over and over.
On top of this depression of not working or trying to find a job....... It drains me.
Now about me, I am run down but still feeling soo positive about my desire to leave my job and work at the school I have talked about. Soo many positives even when it comes to organization and boundries etc. Keeping my fingers crossed some more......hopefully hear something soon. I have no idea how long it takes to turn around a cori and other background check information.
Hahahahaha I love the Jerry Spinger idea!!!!! _________________ It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not.

I would agree with you....I would also say that you are the bio parent....and the discipline should come from you.
You can't argue with a 10 year old....but a 10 year old can learn how to argue or express himself based on what the adults in his household behave like.....you want your 10 year old behaving like D does when he is in his 20's and 30's?

So what are the condequences to his abusive behaviour towards you or your kids? Does D have any?

I guess so....I mean it's their home too right? I'd be thinking about asking them how they feel right now and what could change or be better.....and go from there.

No-one is prefect hun....impossible to be perfect!!! Tell him to change the tape or you are converting to CD's

Your doing good Echo....try not to let his negativity sap your positivity.

I did too! Made me chuckle!!!
Stay cool and stay strong...

Not sure why that song popped into my head but I love it. We used to sit up in my uncles's room when we were kids and listen to "goodbye yellow brick road over" and over an over. He was soo cool to us then.
Thanks for helping me work through my thoughts and feelings, you are soo good at it. _________________ It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not.

I got the job......I got the job........I got the job.......I got the job!!!!!!!!!!
This has made D a bit upset and he hasn't yet gotten a job but like he says, the result of his job search is equivalent to the effort put in!
I will not be rich, but I know I am going to be happy!!!!!!! _________________ It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not.
