[quote=Anonymous]I disagree that this will automatically escalate into overt physical abuse of the child, but as someone (a man) who was in an emotionally abusive (because physically was not an option for her) relationship, this kind of anger to intimidate behavior is abusive and unacceptable.

I think the OP needs to get into therapy for herself ASAP - not because there's anything "wrong" with the OP, but to have a professional support network to help her navigate out of this situation.  That could mean anything from divorce to working with her husband to go into therapy himself to learn to manage his behavior and be a better spouse and parent.

Anger is a useful emotion and not in and of itself a problem.  The problem is angry behavior; any kind of uncontrolled behavior really - mature, mentally healthy adults know how to manage their behavior.  It's possible the husband is acting out but is not an abuser.  It's possible he is an abuser.  Either way, a professional is much better equipped to give the OP advice about how to tackle this than the DCUM peanut gallery.[/quote]
