About Me
I am the mother of a three-year-old boy. He is the sweetest little guy and so smart, funny, brave and strong! I work part-time as a communications specialist for a roofing company. I have been married five years to an emotionally and verbally abusive man(although on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the best, I'd probably rate him a 6). I'm here because I need support in dealing with him. And I've met some great friends who have helped me with just that! THANKS to all of you!
Interests
Arts and crafts, genealogy, being with my son!

Close Physical & Emotional Abuse
I believe my husband is an emotional abuser. He is critical not only of me, but also our three-year-old son. I tell him I don’t approve of his comments; he responds that it’s my or our son’s fault or he denies that he is doing anything wrong. He is very needy of my attention, and shows jealousy of our son. I don’t think he is a full-scale abuser, but the partiality of it still makes me uncomfortable and I think it is affecting our son. I am confused and frustrated, and I don’t know what to do.
