I think I know why I've always stayed.

After this last incident with DH and his namecalling (see my initial post)
towards my kids, he has been mr nice guy. (to me) He gets all snuggly in bed,
and is always asking for hugs & kisses.
IS HE CRAZY?
Is this part of the emotional abuse?
Part of some sick psychological game?
How can he act like nothing has happened? It ALWAYS
happens this way. And in time things blow over..... and I stay.
And he knows how difficult leaving would be for me. (financially, & no where to go)
so he probably thinks that I will never do it (well, I never have)
It makes me sooo angry. He is psycho or something.

thanks for the vent!
anyone go thru this?

I have the same problem. I believe my husband is manic or something. He goes from "Ill kill you" to I love you in 10 min. The name calling has got worse and all he says is its his only way of expressing himself. He is a wonferful father but I have had enough. Then he wonders why I shy away from sex. PLEASE! He is nuts. I understand what you mean but I dont have an answer. Maybe yours is manic too. I want out but Im trying to understand the effects on my dd. Shes only 2 and adores him. Good luck....

Oh yeah... My EX had glares that could cut like a knife, but come time that he wanted something from me, well, he was just all sappy dappy and couldn't understand why I didn't reciprocate his feelings.
