I never know what he is going to be like when he comes through that door either, it is such a challenge for me now.

Oh OE
You have had so much to deal with, I am wishing peace and calm for you.
I understand what you talk about here. My first husband was verbally abusive, he used to threaten me with violence(I haven't spoken about this really before) and I also didn't know what he would be like when he came home. He would be worse when he would drink. At the end I was locking myself in my room terrified of him, I really thought he might kill me. He owned guns and threatened me one night whilst holding his rifle pointed at me.
The final straw, almost, was him standing over me screaming all the obscenities at me and telling me that if I really loved him I would be swinging at the end of a noose from the doorway.
Sorry, I don't know why I felt the need to write that....I do hope it triggers no one.......it has me now. I can see that room, that doorway, and feel the terror. Sorry......gotta go calm down, in tears and having trouble breathing.
