I am so broken today

Seems as if night before last my DH began to seem distance, like quickly. We had a snappy moment earlier in the day on the phone, but when we were talking later he said I just hate to argue, so I thought all was fine. As the night grew on he seemed more strange, then yesterday was strange again, I had asked him through the day what was going on, he continue to say nothing. Last night it seemed anything to do his own thing and avoid, he was even quite cold as we sat beside each other for just a few minutes.

Well later on...all hell broke loose. I know men are not open discussion creatures sometimes, but he started yelling and screaming. I've taken on and off "fits" like this for about 5 years (whole other story) but lately I realize I'm getting older and not as willing to "take it" as before. I told him stop yelling, then he slams the door so hard our bedroom trim comes off the entrance, OK at that point I'm livid....he is very bad to break shit and I can't seem to have but several months at a time to where there are new holes in the walls or no TV remote, oh and he loves to break his damn cell phone. He has been physically abusive only a time or two ever and not like a major wife beater or something, however I'm not excusing his actions. Also, he had a few beers, but nothing abnormal at all. I lived with this man through pill addiction after a surgery so hell and back I have walked with him.

My BS12 is home during this raging fit and finally he called his dad to pick him up and normally he would go to my DH before his dad so this mean shits is getting bad. The my BD16 and SD16 come in from work and I told him to see them and that they had nothing to do with anything going on so don't take it out on them, HE DID....HE WAS IN MY SD FACE SCREAMING, THEN IN MY BD FACE a few minutes later....he and I have had our fights, but NEVER have I seen him speak to the kids, any of them like this. He turned to my BS12 and said well I guess you don't trust me since you called your dad. Folks this is the craziest behavior I have EVER seen from this man, and I saw some crazy shit while he was on pills.

I told my bios to pack some things and told my SD I would drop her at her BM's if she wanted, and that I loved her, but that decision was hers. He then jumps my ass and tells my I have no say over his daughter, he has never said that because he knows how close we are. He then went to SD and says that he was taking her to her BM since she was so disrespectful and didn't want to stay with him....He made me look as if I lied and said she wanted to go, she had never answered me, although I found out she did want to go to her BM.

He left with her after having several beers, I can only imagine the ride this child endured. I left our house right after him and came to my families farm, this morning he called and ask if I really meant we are "done" and told me he wasn't and wanted me home, I blew alot out on him, but told him face to face is better, so I am supposed to see him in an hour.

My heart is broken, shattered, broken......I don't know what to do, I feel what I should do. He just never thinks of consequences for his actions, I told him he upset 3 kids major bad!

I am tired of living like that too. My AHH (a$$ hole hubs) doesn't have the excuse of alcohol he is just that mean. I didnt realize that he would ever turn on me. I am a stupid woman. But I am out. I just can't do it anymore.

You know what you have to do. The minute they turn on kids.... That was it for me.

sounds like he is on the pills again and then add in the beer. being physical 1 time is too much. please be careful in your meeting and please think about staying away.

Thanks so much for the comments and thoughts above. I was trying to get my things together to get out of the house before he returned and I never even thought about him driving drunk with her in the truck until later, not a good excuse I know, but honestly I couldn't think at all. I grabbed just enough stuff to get gone.

Today he is Mr. Sweetie Pie and I hate that, I do love him so much, but I know right now I need to remain focused on the bad, the mental abuse more than anything to remind myself I can't do it anymore.

It is a shocker that this was the same man who treated me like a queen until a major surgery and he never awoke the same person and I've tried and tried....I've lost me during all these battles.

I agree with Echo, if you can't get out for yourself, think about your kids. What are you teaching them by staying? This is not what a healthy relationship is suppose to be about.

I am no expert, believe me, but if he is suddenly having irrational mood swings, and had a surgery which resulted in him becoming addicted to pills (which I again am assuming one followed the other and not the other way around), and he hasn't had any kind of treatment or counseling, there is a very good chance he is using again. Most of the opiate addicts I have represented have been prone to EXTREME mood swings and violence when they can't get their hands on meds. One client told me it causes a physical pain, like burning under the skin, that just eats at you and eats at you until you are so angry and annoyed at the pain that you lash out at anyone around you. Not that it excuses his behavior, but it may explain why things have changed. Here's something else I will tell you from experience, opiate addiction is a lifelong problem. Even if they get clean. Even if they never touch it again. The craving never goes away. It is the worst of the addictions I have had to deal with and most of the time it takes heavy doses of suboxone just to deal with day to day life, and that stuff is extremely expensive. Plus, if he is actually in recovery, he wouldn't be drinking. And I can't say for sure but I know a lot of pill popper clients said that alcohol made the craving and irrationality worse. I wouldn't go back until he has an evaluation and follows its recommendations. I don't know where you live, but I am assuming if you call a few counselors you can probably find one that does so on a sliding fee scale based on income. I would tell him you won't even think about seeing him or talking to him until he has that done. For your safety and the safety of your kids.
