Last night was not a good night.Well at the job he was working out he ws very arguementive. Then it started when he wanted to take my car while was at my meeting. In the begin I didn't want him too but I thought how much trouble can he get into a hour. I told him I wanted him to be back in an hour. When I came out he was there. Thank God. But he was blasting the music. That should of been a sign. Well any way he said he was going to Quick Check and he was gone a so I called him an he told me he was a Quick Check. Well in the mean time his son went out and I didn't know where he was. His Adult son hand me the keys to tell that my husband was going to pee outside. I took the keys and hide them. But then he came in an started to arguing with me and I didn't feel like fighting. So I hand him the keys and I said he take them and get drunk, I was mad. Ok then my husband trys to go an use the car and his son stop him. He then takes off and is gone for a while. He then calls me. I had taken my night meds and shouldn't be driving. But any way I went to go get him. He was wired we get back to the house and then he wanted to leave again. I said to him I didn't go to get you so you could take off. So he got mad and went in the house. Ok if that wasn't bad enough, he started his yelling and name calling and mind you I wanted to go to sleep. He was telling me how he isn't doing any thing. How he is no longer paying the bills. He went on and on and I couldn't take it. I snap and I hit him in the face. Which got him mad and I of course regret it. Then he is taking his cell to see how many times I called him an I know only 4 times. I took the cell phone away. Finally after a while of this he went to sleep. Of course of all this it took me longer to go to sleep.

Hi are you in a position to have a car each? That way you still maintain your independence and you are not so reliant on your husband. Keep your chin up and remember the 3 c's. Luv Leo.
I am so sorry about your night. I know how those nights can go! When that would happen to me I would be so angry I wanted to tell him everything that was on my mind, but I was also too exhausted to fight. I hope that today you can manage to find some peace and rest.
Hi, I am sure right now you could use a big hug.....it's been over a year since my A did close to the same thing that happened at your house last year, however I threw a phone. I truly was aiming at the wall behind my A, he was laying down and lifted up to adjust his body. He was saying horrible things, that he would take my car; that me and the boys would no longer have a home, the whole time I was talking on the cordless with my mother. He was screaming at me, had been drinking for 10 or 11 hours. When he said I was out whoring around on him, I couldn't stand it and threw the phone.....I saw the phone go in slow motion, like when you have a car accident, anyway, it hit him in the head, right at the hairline I knew it was a bad thing, it was the first time I had thrown something, I have slammed doors, pushed him, and slapped him in his drunken state. He called 911 and I went to jail. I knew at the instant my life was going to change. That is when I realized Step 1. I was out of control; this is not the person I wanted to be. I voluntarily took Anger Management, however the court did not feel that was enough, I now have over 7 months of Domestic Violence classes. My counselor told me in the beginning that she didn't think I was a batterer but that I have learned behaviors because of living with an active alcoholic/drug abuser that I needed to learn more skills. I am blessed with the fact that my A called 911. The fights were escalating and my life was so very unmangable. I wanted to share this with you because I have been where you are and it all can change. I was doing the same thing over and over and over and nothing was changing. Now I have skills that help me, I have learned to set boundaries, and not give in to my A bullying me into getting what he wants. Hang in there.
Thank you guys for sharing your feeling. I h ave learned alot. A little frighten about him calling the police on me. I would be scared to death to go to jail. But maybe that is the scare I need to not attack him again. Thanks.
