[quote=Anonymous]I am sorry, OP, I believe you and know you are not a troll as I have been in similar situations. It sounds like you may be in an emotionally abusive marriage (I am guessing?) and it is easy to be a frog in a frying pan and let habits accumulate, and to be walking on eggshells, and to just become a defacto single parent as you take your son around for a day, and that is easier than being around a husband as well..

I do think you should see a therapist, and explore some of the issues raised.... I think you can make it work with your DH, but you have to be mindful of the issues, and aware of the issues, so that this is a choice to stay together, if that is what you want, after exploring the issues and finding healthy ways to discuss topics with your son.....

Divorce is difficult, you see your kid only half the time, and should be a last resort...I don't know how people can be so flippant about "get divorced" advice...

FWIW, I was also born in Western Europe, and for whatever reason have different gender norms than in the US... I am probably in a category also of being very accommodating to a controlling/volatile husband at times.....

I would just encourage you to become more aware of your situation, and mindful of whatever unhealthy habits are forming, so you can make the best decision for yourself.

Wishing you lots of luck and you are brave to post.[/quote]
