[quote=Anonymous]This is confusing but I’ll try to simplify it.  For a very long time, I didn’t realize that the stuff my Husband puts me through is emotionally abusive.  I won’t go into details but is passive aggressive and cold shoulder and silent treatment and sarcasm and disrespect in many forms.  I have 2 sons and 2 daughters .  My children (older teens and early twenties ) don’t see it because my husband is very very good at doing this shit quietly and subtly and behind everyone’s back.

So all my kids are left to see is my anger and annoyance and difficulty that seems to just be coming from me...not from my reaction to being treated the way I have been.  So I know my kids think their father is just wonderful, especially since he goes out of his way to help the 2 boys now that they are older even though he was never around when they were younger.  It’s like now that they are older he can get some positive feedback for himself as I think he is very very emotionally immature and almost narcissistic in a quiet way (I think it’s called vulnerable narcissism ).

He has almost no relationship with my oldest and youngest as they are girls .  He showers all his attention on the 2 boys.

I’m distraught as it’s just one more layer of hurt ..seeing them thinking he’s such a great guy .

I’ve started counseling but just wanted to vent I guess, and also wondered if anyone has had any experience with this quiet type of abuse.  I recently fantasizes about what would happen if he hit me and they could all see who he really is and I would kick him the hell out that day.  But this makes it so confusing [/quote]
