Yes, I always have. None the less I'm gonna move forward once I talk to a lawyer about custody stuff.

Kind of a post script. I did fill out an application for legal aid, still waiting to hear back. Some new emotional complications have come up, which i know shouldn't matter but I can't stop giving myself pause because of them. 1. My wife just bailed me out of a significant debt, which I would...

Thank you everyone for your support. Hopefully something, at least, will have changed by the next time I post on here

As silly as it may sound, I'm worried people will hate me or blame me. Even though my mom, all of my friends, and my therapist are very supportive, and agree that I need to do things for myself and my son. I can't stop thinking about how it will hurt my wife. Again silly as it may sound.

Hello, So what's goiing on is: a company in my field of study is interested in me. If they offer me the job, I want to take it. My wife, who I have established is emotionally abusive, doesn't want me to work in the counseling field. Last time I tried to it didn't go so well... like...

Thank you

I guess it's feeling sometimes like I could possibly be overreacting (even though even my therapist doesn't think I am). Knowing I'd probably have to leave my son for even a short amount of time till initial legal stuff got worked out. Weird as it may sound I still don't want to hurt her...

So I'm feeling like a broken reccord on this site. I want/need to leave my wife who is emotionally abusive. I have somewhere to go, I know who to call for custody related legal issues, I've told pretty much everyone I wanted to what's going on (friends/family). I'm getting a little more...

In progress, still working out details, for my son. I can stay at my moms,, but she's 1.5 hours away. I don't know how proximity and joint custody work.

I am in a place now that I habe decided that I need to leave my wife who is emotionally abusive. I know there's never gonna be ha perfect time to do it. I still can't stop myself from giving in to her manipulations, no matter how small. Its like an addiction (which I've had some experience...

I agree. And I need to focus on taking careare of my self and my son. Still, she didn't deserve her ex's abuse either. It's a shame how abuse cycles

Hello. So I've finally come to the conclusion that I deffinitely have to leave my wife who is emotionally abusive. She's had a hard life, and I can't believe I'm going to make it harder, but whatever our marriage is... well it's not a marriage. She's had a lot of past trauma and I feel for...

The post partum depression occurred to me as well, and she does fit the criteria. She also wasn't the healthiest mentally before she was pregnant. I could go on about specifics, but I've mentioned them on this site before, and if rather focus on what's going on right now. I also never legally...

I'd love to say it was just my son, but he's not even 4 months old. As weird as it may sound, I was scared of hurting her, and that she's been through so much trauma in her life already, and thinking everyone will hate me. That being said, I am quite concerned currently about what would happen...

Deffinitely possible, but it's been a lesser version of this since before we officially moved in together years ago. I feel like i'm terrified of her without her ever raising a single fist...

Refuses counseling, and any other medical treatment. She got OB care when she was pregnant, but she doesn't have a primary care doctor. She doesn't trust anyone. Says she hates people. Our son, and my stepdaugher have doctors, but she refuses for herself. I go through scenarios in my head...

Hello, So i've been back and forth on whether I my wife is emotionally abusive, but at the moment we're kind of in new territory. We had a baby who is almost 4 months old now. When her maternity leave ended, and she had to go back to work she had/is having a lot of trouble adjusting. I...

Midwives/birthing center, we've been in touch, and my wife is doing better now. But she's still convinced that the midwives we've been seeing are just going to get her out of their care as fast as possible, even though they've said before that even if she had to go to a hospital that they would...

I'm doing my best. She refeuses therapy every time it comes up, and she won't talk to anyone else aside from me because she says she hates people. Way before she was pregnant she never trusted most health care people like doctors or therapists, and she's very black and white when it comes to...

That's mostly what I'm doing. She's already certain in her head that the proceedure to turn the baby won't work and she'll end up having a c-section, which is what happened with her first kid 10 years ago. I certainly don't blame her for catastrophizing, I tend to do it a lot myself.

Any words of support are gladly accepted.

Hello, I have a trauma history, but today I am posting as a supporter of someone with a trauma history, which I also am. Yesterday we recieved some bad news. My wife is pregnant, and we found out yesterday that the baby is in breach position. My wife hates hospitals, and was planning to...

This is the third time I will have had to change therapists at this mental health center, there's a lot of turnover. But if it's more than a week or so I have the number of the head of adult services to call and inquire. Also my new insurance says it cant be a masters level clinician, so that...

More or less what my therapist says, and I'm working on it... Partially related topic: my therapist told me she was leaving the practice today, they have a high turnover rate. Thanks everyone for your input.

I suppose my answer to st sexual question is that technically I am consenting, but last time it was after she said: "do it now or I'll cry". With the pregnancy hormones: true they can intensify such things, but looking back she's been gaslighting me most days for the last 5 years. It seems like...
