My H was the same way, taking all his stress & anger out on me and blaming me for everything even when he would lose his own keys or whatever! I have finally started standing up for myself, and I was surprised but when I did, he actually stopped yelling at me, and I think realized he was being inappropriate. We had gotten into a really unhealthy dynamic where my H thought yelling at me was normal & I would sit there and take it and think that was normal too. (I didn't realize it wasn't normal, until my C said I need to ask him to stop! which had never even occurred to me! ) I feel so much better about finally standing up for myself. It has ended the yelling, but even if it didn't I think I would feel better about the whole thing anyway & not like I am a powerless or whatever. Karen
