Hello there...I am brand new here and am hoping that someone, anyone might have been where I am and might have some advice or input to offer.
I have been married for 12 years. When we were first together, my husband was wonderful, funny and kind. When I became pregnant with our first child, he changed. He started fighting with me, becoming argumentative and mean, yelling at me. One time our upstairs neighbor actually came down and made sure I was okay, and told my husband he shouldn't treat me like that. I was six months along. After our so. Was born, his behavior only got worse, he started calling me crazy when I was depressed postpartum. After a while things got better, and I thought okay, he just needed to grow up. Things were good until after the birth of our daughter...then I started catching my husband in lies.
Big, small, medium...lying about stupid things. When I would catch him and call him on his lies, I got a variety of responses, from "I'm not lying" to "You misunderstood me" to "It's not my fault, I was possessed by a demon" (I'm not joking, he said that) to his most recent, "Lying is what you've driven me to."
I have no job, I've been a homemaker raising my kids for over a decade; I have two children who I only want the best for; one child has Asperger's, the other has ADD and dyslexia; I don't know what I could do, but I feel like separation or divorce is the only answer I have right now. I don't trust my husband to be truthful, responsible, or to do right by my kids. Has anyone here been in a similar situation?
