Hi,
I hope this is right board for this but I'm just feeling so helpless. I have been married 5 years and have become a shell of a person due to emotional abuse. We go through a roller coaster that hs continued througout the whole marriage. He is very critical and often resorts to belitting me calling me names. He will call me up at work just to yell at me about something I had down like throw out food in the fridge too early. In the beginning he wanted to know where I was all the time but I have gained weight and that has gone away. I have ADD and tend to loose things and be disorganized (he is very organized) and he often makes me feel worthless because of this. I feel like I am constantly walking on egg shells. My daughter will often ask what kind of mood Daddy is in so she can prepare herself before she gets home(he is her step father). He sets the mood in the house. I am in AA and have just started going to Alonon hoping it will help. I'm not ready to leave we also have a 4 year old son whom he adores. I just don't know how to stop this cycle please help
