I did not grow up with yelling. My house was very calm. My parents didn't yell and neither did my brothers and sisters.
I would describe my childhood as almost ideal. My parents had/have a very happy marriage. I come from a very close family. We call each other once a week. We constantly email each other. I can count on them for anything.
Anger is not a common emotion in my family. I was not taught to give this emotion respect. We did not speak to each other in anger.
When I left in June 2013, I was running. I wanted her to stop yelling at me. I couldn't make her stop yelling so I filed for a divorce.
I didn't think long-term about what it meant to file for a divorce.
I know it doesn't make sense.
I saw a divorce as a way to stop her yelling. Once she stopped yelling at me then we could go back to being happy.
