Hi--
It's a pattern:
Day 1, I will do something to upset my wife, or my younger daughter will, and she'll blame me for it, and she'll decide to become enraged, starts breaking things, sometimes she descends to hitting me or younger daughter, she yells that she wants out, she wants to divorce, she never wants to see me again. Then she'll say that a) she wants me and younger daughter to leave or b) she and elder daughter are leaving or c) we should sell the apartment, pay off the bank, and both leave, or d) she's just going to let our place decay and rot and go into foreclosure and she doesn't care.
Day 2, the same
Day 3, she calms down, moves on to something else.

My problem is that whatever I agree to, she changes her mind, in true narcissist fashion: "I've changed my mind."

I don't believe we really have a long-term future. I'm just not sure how to get out of it now. Sometimes I'd just like to leave, but I can't afford it, and my company is downsizing like crazy these days so I feel completely stuck. Some days I just think I'll stick it out as best I can until the kids leave for college, then I can look forward to dying of old age.

Anyway, that's today. It sucks.
