[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why the hell would you bring another child into an abusive situation?!?   What is wrong with you? [/quote]

OP here: I have a hard time knowing what is an abusive situation. I know plenty of in-love couples who have shouting matches, storm out the door etc. DH with this apparent anger and name calling issue aside is the best father I could imagine for our kids. He is super involved and caring. I know he has a lot of undealt-with trauma from his childhood and youth (he essentially lost his whole family at the age of 4 or 5) and so honestly I can deal with these faults. Yes I'd like him to go to counseling but he's not going to do that until he's ready and it's his choice. Trust me I've talked with counselors hundreds of times about these kinds of situations with DH. They all say it's unsurprising given his childhood trauma. Basically I know that if we were in a dangerous situation I'd pack up and leave.

But in all honesty, his ridiculous anger outbursts are something I can usually put up with and do not outweigh the actual love we have for each other and they way he loves and supports me (the other 95%+ of the time).[/quote]
