[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with 12:19 and 12:21 completely.  This is really a bad dynamic, and your "calling him on it" in front of DC, while understandable, is not good at all.  I had tried to intervene between my son and his similarly abusive dad for years, with the result that my son, now 20, is emotionally a mess, fighting with but clinging to his dad for rare moments of positives, coming to me for occasional cry, but mostly withdrawn into himself between two parents he can't trust and believing he is no good and needs both his father's badgering and my protection to survive.  No job no college few friends.

This. Couple counseling not recommended in an abusive relationship.  I was you. The behavior got worse over time to the point that I completely shut down and did not do anything
independently.  My husband would check the mileage on my car and grill me about where I went.  I was never physically hit but the controlling behavior and verbal abuse was extreme and also the threatening behavior.

I'd seek counseling for you on how to get out of the relationship.

It was not until I was out of the relationship that I realized how bad it was.[/quote]
