I am in a marriage of 4 years, I have 3 kids ages 17,14,and 9 he has 3 ages 17,15 and 13 (two live in another city) My husband has very bad communication skills. He is VERY controlling and overbearing. It's either his way or none. Wants to be heard, but won't listen. His two oldest children refuse to visit, my oldest has moved with his father. We constantly argue. We've had verbal and physical altercations in the past. I work two jobs to support the family to his one and continue everyday chores as if I'm single. In the beginning I saw this characteristic of him, but thought that because "I" was different from the others, that he would learn from me and change. It's only gotten worse and I'm ready to seperate for good after multiple threats of leaving in the past. He says that if I leave then that means a divorce is next, I dont want a divorce, I love him, but I need him to see where he is wrong. Counseling is scheduled, but I fear that it will be all an act on his part.
