[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unfortunately, despite what many of you are implying, OP cannot force her DH to change his behavior. She has tried (read her OP again, for those of you insisting she has done nothing) and can continue to try more forcefully, but the only person who can change the DH's behavior is the DH. Even divorce would only change their living situation and not necessarily in a way that benefits the children or protects them.[/quote] So what’s your solution?[/quote] What is your solution besides berating her? OP is doing the best she can and folks have given tons of advice for trying to convince him to change his behavior (in between the ridiculous attacks on OP). But ultimately, that is up to him. She can only change what she has control over. [/quote] Where did I berate OP? What are you even talking about? You said OP can't force her husband to change his behavior and she can't divorce him. Ok, so then what is your solution for her? Or are you more interested in blaming someone for doing something they didn't do than trying to help OP?[/quote] You keep asking the same questions and ignoring my answers so I am going to keep on copying and pasting them. [b]Some things that worked for convincing my DH to act like an adult (but it is a work in progress helped by the fact that our child is getting older and parenting is less intense): 1. Naming abuse accurately as abuse 2. Physically putting my body between me and child when he loses control and telling him "get away from her, do not ever do that again" 3. Telling DH he needs to take a parenting class and it is not up to me to find a class or sign him up, I am not minder and he needs to take full responsibility for it[/b][/quote] You haven't identified yourself or your answers prior to this. You just keep yelling at anyone who says something you don't like and accusing them of being awful people. [/quote] DP. I did these things and kid getting older helps, but the most effective thing I did was to tell xDH repeatedly I would call the police if he touched me or our kid. He knew I meant it. I do think these things helped keep him in check. But he was still an abusive a** so we divorced before I could see how long this tactic would work. [/quote]
