My name is Jenn, and I'm a 27 year old married and babied chick. In addition to a husband, a seven year old daughter, and a five year old autistic son, I also have four cats, three hermit crabs, two frogs, a few fish, and one snorty little Pug. I work from home doing a variety of writing and even some web design. I love blogging, digital photography and web design.
I don’t think he realizes how his past flare ups and rages have affected me. Does he even notice how I back away each time he raises his voice? It took me a good ten minutes to calm down tonight after he started to yell and raised his arms outwards and upwards. Each time he goes into one of his rages I wonder if he will be able to direct his anger elsewhere, or if he’ll take it out on me, as he has done a few times in the past.
Please don’t read this post and think my husband is an abusive asshole. He has problems, true enough. And he needs to work on controlling his temper. That is very true. And he needs to stop blaming me for his rages. “Well, you interrupted me.” “You said something I didn’t like.” “You nitpicked.” Sorry, but none of those excuses will fly very far with me.
I know a lot of this will dissipate once we’re moved into our new home… God, I can’t wait.
I have a bad temper, a very bad temper and I know how it feels to be in a rage. You think of nothing else butting getting it out or you will burst. I also know how it feels like to be on the receiving end of the anger. I don’t think your husband is an abusive asshole, he just needs to get his anger under control like I need too.
