My husband, though physically abusive on the rare occasion, is verbally abusive every day. He yells about everything. Nothing I do is right. He's mad at me because I'm now handicapped. (I didn't ASK for this!) He's always putting me down, and I can't take it any more. If I call the police, he might lose his job, and I'll lose my home, not that I'm happy here, but at least I have a roof over my head and food on the table.
I try to not yell back or reply negatively when he calls me all sorts of names, but he knows that I can only hold out so long before I'll finally say something back to him. Sometimes I wonder why I'm even here. I often wish I weren't. I don't do anything mean to him, and I know he's very stressed with work, but that doesn't give him the right to treat me the way he does. He calls me horrible names, and I don't know where to get help. It's not like our home is already paid for. Our kids live out of state. How can I stop the screaming, but keep my home?
