Dear Tridha:

I am sorry that you are in the situation you are in. I too was in  contact with a person who gave me anxiety, and it was terrible- it was like living in a war zone, not knowing when I was going to be attacked next. Without your husband’s help, I would say that it might be a good idea to separate and divorce him, and in so doing, exiting this emotional/ verbal war zone with his mother.

Living in the US, being employed, and applying for child support from your child’s father, may make it possible for you to have a way better life as a single mother (and maybe get re-married in the future).

It will definitely be better for your child to have a calmer mother! I understand that you are “really scared”- tell me more about what you are scared of, will you?
