I am a really sensitive, straight-forward, open book kind of person. I guess that doesn't work in these situations.
I'm calling BS on that. It's not working because you are not straight forward and open with your husband. You are scared to death to set a boundary - he might not like it (because you are too sensistive?!? no, it's because you hurt so much you don't want anyone else to hurt.) How about you stand up for yourself, take care of your business and call a spade a spade. Your husband has some serious issues, are you gonna fix them? Keep coddling him and treating him like a Mom - that doesn't work! What does he have to do to you to make you stand up for yourself? Listen to Gucci the boundaries will be set and enforced with actions. Actions that are healthy, good for you and the kids. Actions that will start to provide a little normalcy and stability. Here is a boundary for me. I am not going to post back to you unless you start taking positive steps for yourself. Actions, work, do .... whatever you want to call it. Love is a verb (a action word), start loving yourself.
I send this with love, prayers and hope for you and your family. Handle it.
