[quote=Anonymous]This is one reason I never had children with my ex husband.
I was afraid my ex husband would go psycho yelling if
kid spilled his milk.

My ex husband's yelling was about once a week but it was
always irrationally out of control and yelling way more
than the situation warranted.

After about 8 years of this  my personality was kind of crushed down kind of like a beaten dog.

I sometimes see women in the grocery store or discount store with a man that goes psycho yelling at the cashier
about something stupid.  The woman accompanying the man  generally has a  crushed down personality like I used to.

My ex husband was a good guy but long term it was not
healthy for me

The intensity escalated over the years. I was never physically struck but was concerned about being hit about
year 8.

Riding in the car with my ex husband was the worst.  HE
had severe road rage and would yell at me in an extreme
manner over someone on the road doing something very minor.

My personality really shut down after 8 years of this.

He ultimately wanted a divorce which ended up being
a good thing for me.

One month after he moved out I knew divorce was a 
healthy move for me even though I did not initiate it.

I grew up in a home where my Dad yelled at Mom
maybe once or twice a year, generally at tax time.
I was not prepared for what I encountered in my
marriage.
