I can't believe how nit picky controlling they get! Does this get worse over time? Im seeing the same things in XH, and it's now spilling over in his interactions with the girls. Now D12 is complaining about it and dreading visits with him. Yes the control freak comes out like a Monster during these times.

I agree with Snodderly they think they know what's best!When we show our independence and don't ask for their input or permission, well that's more excuse for spew! Then by golly, after the spew, they turn around and repeat the exact same point we were trying to make to them, but this time it was all their idea! LOL

An issue with us was always pets. He went from being a pet person to absolutely detesting animals, if he couldn't control them. XH used to curse my 18 year old dog that's blind so bad it would wake me up at night. What blew me away was how he'd have such hatred at the animals, yet inform me NOT to use weed killer around the house because it could kill the cats. Then turn around and threaten to shoot the cats.

My Xh is nothing but a big adult bully.
