Posted by Jade on 8/1/2003, 7:22 am, in reply to "Bad time of day" I know for me that I hated dinnertime because he would either criticize or have a fit if it wasn't done by the time he thought it should be done and then that would set him off for the next few hours. I would walk on eggshells from the time I got home from work wondering if he was gonna attack something about dinner. And you know what?, I am a pretty good cook and when his friends come over they say so and when his friends were here he'd say so but if we were alone it was a different story and that really hurt because it made me feel like I wasn't good enough. And then that would seem to set his mood into negative crap for the next few hours. I'm glad you brought that up, I had not really thought about that and it made me see that because I finally stood up for myself that it doesn't happen anymore. This will pass for you after you get used to knowing that no one is going to attack you and that you don't have to tip toe around the house. I am so proud of you blondiegirl! You have taken back your life and you will get stronger and more confident and gain more independence with each and every day. You don't hide in a corner when you are feeling bad, you come out and say what you are feeling and that is key to helping you recover and heal. You are a wonderful woman and a great mother for getting your boys out of that life of worry and fear. You and the boys are going to be just fine. They are lucky to have such a strong wonderful mother Hugs!

Was dinner time normally a difficult time when you were still there? Did he criticize what you cooked or get mad if it wasn't done on time or something ignorant like that?
