[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is a horrible thrower. I can't count how many remotes he's broken and walls damaged because he chucks things out of anger. [b]One time threw my kindle in my direction, bounced up from the ottoman and hit me in the face. You'd think that would have changed things, but nope. Threw the stocking holder across the room once. Until this year I hauled that broken stocking holder out every year so he could see his damage, but this year I finally switched it.[/b] I have 3 1/2 more years before I can go. I'm with PP. I can't believe I married someone like this and failed at the one thing I was hoping to be good at. Being in the room with someone throwing things in anger is simply scary, and it's meant to be. So yeah, DV.[/quote]

I wish you had called the police when the kindle hit you in the face.  That is assault and he could have thought things overnight in jail.  Maybe then he would finally “see the damage.”[/quote]

DH has been throwing things for most of twenty something years.  Yes, it included throwing stuff at me or the kids. It was worse before it was better, and I wish I knew then what I now know. If you have the chance to call the cops on him, do so.

The anger is internalized, and the abusive spouses learn that acting out on their anger, against anyone, is okay.  It is not okay. [/quote]
