You have a right to be angry. What he said was quite harsh and no one likes threats. You have every reason to be defensive. Please be careful though. Stressors have a way of making us fall deeper into illness. Take care of yourself.

This may be his way of dealing with his frustration and he possibly would not want a situation where he takes the kids from you or walks out on you. He may have been lashing out because he just doesn’t know how to be the support you need. That doesn’t excuse his remark but I have had one or two family members say some less than supportive things to me when faced with their own frustrations in regards to dealing with me.

I wish you the very best.
