I am very sad and depressed today. I am thinking about how my kids father called a family meeting to tell our children that I am a selfish person. How he is constantly telling them bad things about me. How now that was the proof that he is doing that. How we both have 4 days off for Thanksgiving and I am anxious and nervous about being around him for that amount of time. How I wish some accident would happen that would knock me off the face of the earth. No one would notice or care anyways. How I was offered a great opportunity at work but had to turn it down because of my life and the lack of people in my life. How it is going to get too cold for my weekend walks and I will be stuck in the house with him. How I messed up the kids activities schedules and we missed one thing and now they are mad at me. I can win...I am trying my best, but nothing is ever good enough.

Your husband makes me want to revert away from my pacifism for a day. This sounds like my upbringing with my parents; this sort of thing always happened and it got me all twisted up with my mom. No parent has a right to do that to their children and no husband should ever do that to his own wife. If you're trying your hardest, you're enough. Plain and simple. Don't let this guy get inside your head like that, by using your kids as his weapon.
You're human. Human's make mistakes, even parents. I'm pretty sure we would notice here and I'm sure it would break your kids' hearts. Even with my terrible relationship with my dad (that he caused, which isn't the case for you), I would mourn and I know I would probably cry.

Sounds like your husband is much like my ex-wife. I haven't seen my daughters in 6 years because of their mother's inability to say nice things. I despise parents like her and your husband. Everyone makes mistakes, so do not blame yourself for his actions. Perhaps it is time to get away from him....just a thought.

(((HUGS))) you are not selfish. Everyone makes mistakes. Unfortunately things will get missed. You are human. I am really sorry he said those things.
