Everyone was excited to go camping on Friday (8/12) except my (PTSD Veteran) husband. It was a short trip from home (an hour) and we (MY 17 year old daughter and OUR 6 year old son) were chatting and excited. The buildup started slowly, with minor road rage and complaining about the stopped traffic (construction). We get to our campsite and he wants to rush through setup, and is clearly agitated. He asks me about a few things and I realize, I forgot them (mind you, I worked all morning and had to run to get a few last minute things before we left, while he sat at home with our son and watched his phone). Could have sworn I had just did the most horrendous thing possible (like kick an injured puppy or drowned a kitten), and he started to berate me right in the open(I forgot the cast iron skillet and griddle). I decided it wasn't worth it, shrugged it off and apologized. Saturday comes and I'm up early cooking a big breakfast. Our son forgot his sweatshirt. Cue another berating when hubby finds out. So we go to the gift shop and get a few things then head down to rent some kayaks and a canoe. OH...MY.....the whole 4 miles, he bitched and complained AND he was in a kayak I was in the canoe paddling our son by myself. After that we go back to camp and eat lunch, then decide to go on a hike. Back to camp to get ready to go out to dinner. He decides he wants a beer with dinner (hello state park, no alcohol) and we can't go to the bar because we have kids. So we decide on this cute barn like restaurant and he throws a tantrum, doesn't order anything (because they don't serve alcohol) and goes to sit in the car. After my kids and I enjoy our dinner we head back to camp and everything goes downhill. I'm tired and stressed and embarrassed so I call him out on his shit and he flips his lid, shreds his new ($200) glasses and packs up the car. We head home where he continues to scream at me, threaten divorce and just say some ugly words. Sunday, I'm upset, depressed and just want left alone, but no I'm not allowed to feel that way because he pays for everything and I had better get my act straight or I can leave. Then he asks if I want him to leave, then back again. I just......yeah....I don't know
