    Dreading Work - Keeps getting worse

    Hi everyone. I'm having so much trouble with work. I'm a nurse assistant. Every day I dread going there. It's never mattered what job I was doing. It always gets more difficult the longer I've been there, never easier. I even arranged my schedule to use my days off for specific self care...

    The Saga Continues

    Hi everyone. So here's what's been going on now. My wife has found a support forum she likes, and gets along with. I wanted her to do this so her moods wouldn't be directed all on me. She even has a friend she's been talking to a lot that lives in Australia (for reference I live in eastern...

To give a basis for...

    Wanted additional opinions on this

    So a number of people on this site have been very supportive regarding my wife being abusive. Things have taken an interesting turn, in a good way, and I don't know whether to trust it. Up till now she's refused to talk to, or seek support from anyone else aside from me. Lately she's been...

    Don't know anymore

    Hello. So... I don't even really know what to do anymore. For about a week my wife was getting support from an app/website called 7 cups, where you have access to peer listeners, and can pay for online therapy. In that time it seemed like we were having some good conversations, and things...

    Nothing much new

    Hi everyone. I don't know that I have much to say about my so-called relationship that I haven't before, I'm just lonely I guess. She was in a good mood and poured a little cold water on me as a "joke" and I apparently made some kind of face. Said she was feeling good and trying to share...

    Ok, I have to leave...

    So I know I can't stay with my wife, despite my anxiety about my son. Last night she was in a good mood, and kept (almost manically) presenting rediculous hypothetical situations (like would I let someone cut off her toe for a billion dollars, or if someone was threatening her life unless I had...

    This is my broken reccord impression

    I don't really have anyone else to talk to, at least not for the next week or so. Things are out of control with my wife, not that this is the first time. She obviously doesn't trust anyone. She acted like I endanged our child because I let the doctor give him more than one vaccination at a...
