Maybe the next time he starts to verbally abuse you, you should walk away...and keep walking until he stops. Just get up and leave the room. If he follows you then go to the bathroom and close and lock the door or go outside and play with the kids and basically just ignore him.
Eventually you are gonna have to make him stop being a pooper to you.
If you've always been independent then good for you! I think that is admirable...if he has ALWAYS been selfish what do you expect from him? They are unbelievably selfish throughout this ordeal.
I will pray for you, sweets!
Hugs, Valentine
