[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My mom passed away a few years ago. Seeing how the DH spoke to the mom made me especially sad. If my mom was still around I know my DH would be kind to her, even though she could be a lot!

OP, you deserve better. [/quote]

OP here.  It does make me very sad.  I wish DH could accept my mom's apology and be a little nicer and forgiving.  He says maybe I should find someone else who is willing to put up with being controlled by my parents.  I feel like it is possible to set boundaries, accept apologies when they are broken, and be kind.[/quote]

I have not read this whole thread but OP, your husband’s controlling behavior is a major red flag. I agree with the other posters. I don’t know why you are accepting his policing of your communications with your parents, his behavior towards your mother over mundane dishwashing, and his holding children over your head as it relates to your parents, but this is crazy. Manipulative controlling men (people) have a way of finding people that will bend their will. You are already married, so I won’t scream leave, but you have got to address your behavior and why you allow yourself and your family to be treated like this. Is it self-esteem, was he your only boyfriend, where you running away from something bad into something worse? Good luck.[/quote]
