People will treat you how you let them treat you. If I was in your shoes, I would have said "If you were a man, I'd hit you. I'm leaving." And leave the house. That kind of treatment is total BS.

Just remember that anger is a secondhand emotion and that her anger and lashing out at you is a sign of the pain she is going through quite a bit too. Don't fight fire with fire here.


Im aware that she may be provoking me intentionally because of the pending custody/placement issues. She always has a plan and can be a manipulator.

I couldnt agree more about people doing to you what you let them. Ive held my tongue for the most part because of the issues stated above. Im not perfect and at times have said some things back, but they are few and far between. My W stooped to a new low, and it was tough to see how hurt my mother was.
