Thanks so much, Serenity, for telling how it has been for you in the past coping with the condition that is a part of our lives, but doesn't have to control them. You seem to be higher on the spectrum than I am, but it's still nice to feel like I'm not alone and not the only one who ever messed up.

He has a lot of issues with his mom. He alwasy mistreated her and yelled at her as a kid. He would call her names and insult her in public. He never apologized fo rit. In fact, he says she provoqued him. My mom didn't like that at all. My mom told me "If a man doesnt respect the mother he won't respect the wife. The mother is the symbol of woman, if he hates the symbol, he will hate them all". She also said "He will end up treating you like he treats the mom".
Dear god, I hope this isn't always true. My H hates his mother with a purple passion. (She's not precisely my favorite person either.) He never got nasty with her in public, but now they don't speak to each other - he was excommunicated from their family and church when he joined the Army - and he would cross the street not to walk past her on the sidewalk. He is doing some horrid stuff right now, but I don't think I could stay married to him if he went that far.
