Just need to talk

I’ve been married to someone who is verbally abusive for 3 years. It used to be easy to get over things until I had our son.


now he makes me feel like I’m the worst parent in the world. I actively read, play, and explore the world with my child. While he sits and watches tv all day.


I cook, clean, manage the house the best I can.


yet everything I do is wrong.


he makes me feel worthless.


then I begin to second guess myself.


am I really worthless?

Hello @msFrizz

I'm proud of you for recognizing that your marriage is unhealthy. You do not deserve to be treated this way. You deserve to have a partner who treats you with kindness and helps you parent. Being in an abusive relationship is draining, but I am proud of you for reaching out for support. I have no experience with abusive relationships, so I don't know exactly how you feel or what it is like to go through a similar situation. I want you to know that I am here for you though <3 I'm going to leave you some resources you might find helpful. Please don't forget that you are not worthless and to stay safe <3
