I Think About Having An Affair

Whenever my husband and I have a fight, which in the last year or so seems to be 2 or 3 times a week, when it gets to a point of his anger getting out of control, he ends up calling me all sorts of demeaning names and points out all of my faults. He's loud. My kids hear all about me......I don't imagine they will ever forget the things they have heard and it makes me so sad.

I'm sorry that occurs!
Kids pick up on that shit too and will often adopt the philosophy that is acceptable for men to speak to women in that manner.
You be careful and take care of yourself!

You might be surprised at whether or not they believe him. Kids are smarter than many adults give them credit for. They notice when words and actions don't match. They might pick up communication habits from watching you two together, but that doesn't mean they believe the things he says if they see it things differently.
