Hi,
My name is Nikki, and I am married to a Corporal in the United States Marine Corps. He returned from Iraq this past March, and frankly, now, in Oct., our marriage is hanging on by a very thin thread. He's angry constantly, volatile, cruel, over-discipling our kids, downright mean to me, and he won't even make an ounce of effort towards anything regarding our life, unless it is something that He himself has decided is worthy of his time. He has a massive superiority complex, and he's just rude. He wakes in the night, violent, angry, nightmares and night terrors haunting him perhaps. He sometimes is in a stage of unconciousness and he gets up and wanders around. I can't dare wake him, or he snaps.
During the day, everyone [my kids and I] are terrified knowing he will come home. We never know how he will react when he walks in the door. Usually it's instant anger and he begins to rant and rave about how we are failures. I had a tough past, made mistakes. I also have a few mental issues, which are and have been long dealt with, and I'm on medication. I know that seems to infuriate him. He constantly berates me, and calls me names. He's always been a bit rough around the edges, but he's become downright....unbearable.
I'm on the verge of hysteria, I don't know what to do anymore...any suggestions? I am going to call the Chaplain tomorrow, just to talk to someone, I can't live in this hell anymore. I feel like my husband has become some horrible dictator, and that's not what love, or marriage should be. I love my husband, and I want our marriage to last forever.:dontknow:
