Ok, I've known my husband since we where kids.. been together for 10 years and married almost one... He can be nice and calm.. puts on his happy family face when people are around.

but lately...
my husband is being extremly hurtfull towards my daughter and I. He is saying hurtfull words saying that I'm lazy, pig, I don't do anything at all threatning to leave, as well calling his own 5 yr old daughter stupied, idiot. (I do get inbetween this but then he starts on me, and threatning to leave,, that it's my fault she's like this yada yada yada...). He can do what he wants when he wants. Me on the other had I have to ask, and usually it's no wait until the kids are in bed.. With our first born he would not absolutly would not take care of her. It was me 100%. I even had to ask my friend to watch her so I could take a shower.. I'm fed up with his attitude and the way he treats the kids.

We have both fulltime day jobs a 5 yr old amazing daughter and a 2 yr old son. As soon as we get home I start supper get the kids fed, clean up, get them ready for bed. By then it's 730/8pm and I still have to do the barn chores.. He picks fights with me and yells at me infront of the kids. I'm at the boiling point.. please anyone has any suggestions.. ..

I see two sides of this. On the one hand, all that verbal abuse can lead to something physical. You don't want your kids thinking this is the way husbands are supposed to treat their wives & you certainly don't deserve to be treated this way. On the other hand, divorce & childcare are expensive and your kids may end up spending days with your husband w/o you to protect them depending on what custody arrangement the court orders. I definitely agree that this isn't a healthy situation, but take your time and count the cost and plan for a future w/o your husband before you make any life changing decisions.

I agree with all of the above! Leave him! He is a sorry excuse not only for a man but for a human being to have to put you and his own defenseless children to make him feel better. Take it from someone who grew up with it and had to hid it, always feeling shameful because I thought it was true and I deserved it. After ALOT of therapy, I know now that I don't deserve it and I am a good person. If my husband EVER said that even once to my 4 year old, I would not hesitate to leave! Please confront him and/or leave him if he doesn't change. It is not fair for your beautiful children to hear such disgusting things.

Look at it this way. What is he contributing to this marriage? All it sounds like to me is hurtful words and heartache. You don't need this, and his children ESP don't need it. They will grow up believing the nasty things he says to you and to them. Please consider leaving ASAP.

my suggestion? Leave him, its not a healthy place for your children, or yourself.
That is verbal abuse and if you let it go on, it will start pulling you & the children down. No one deserves that treatment.
Either kick him out or pack up and leave. If you dont feel safe, see the police, they can make sure that an officer is there when you tell him
