Quote From: juballlShe has a lot in common with you, and would be a great support. Your son has no protection except for you.
Many people deal daily with MS, and don't allow their children to be physically or mentally abused. My heart goes out to you, and your son, but you must stand your ground.
Seek legal counsel, and get your husband removed from your household, and a restraining order, until he is in counseling. My father was extremely jealous of me while I was growing up, and was very abusive. I would be in a panic when my mother was gone somewhere, and I was left alone with my father. I was afraid to say much to my mother, in fear of what would happen the next time she was gone and I was alone with him.
Later in life we made our peace, which I was glad we did, but that didn't stop the fear I lived with as a child. I hope this helps. Good luck.
Mouser,
It sounds like "WE" married the same man. My husband is a Professional in his feild, but has no "common sense" in how to have a loving relationship. He stands out in his job, and endeavors, but at home he is complaining of everyone, and that he is not liked, he cannot do anything right, etc etd. He watches every move I make, and questions everything I do. I know how you feel, and I know how abusive it is. I have done this for 32 years now, and some days are great....some days are a living nightmare. He feels since he makes the "living" that I have to conform and agree to everything! I feel like I am not even a "person", and that I have NO ideas, or feelings. I have learned to put my feelings on the back burner. For you though, you have a small child. I would NOT let that child suffer like that......Something has to be done. If you were to find a place of your own, would you be able to get a job and take care of your son with the MS diagnosis? I am sure it would be hard to do, but he is abussive to you and your child. I am curious as to what the others have to say here.
