Behaving backward and encouraging bad behavior in kids

I am desperate to help my family. My "husband" is troubled. He behaves in such odd ways that it is impossible to work with him in any way. He freaks out if someone scratches the wall, but is allowing out house to fall apart around us. He ignores good behavior and seems just fine with bad behavior (missing curfew, smoking pot, skipping school). He'll just stand there and let people completely insult me (which they have figured out is a good way to get rewards from him), and then be so upset that I won't say "hello" or eat something he has cooked. Nothing seems normal with him, in fact it has always seemed like his brain in wired backwards. It is getting worse with time and the kids are figuring out how to use his bizaar behavior to their benefit. Is there a disorder that makes someone work this way. He has gone completely wacko and I am afraid of what is going to happen to all of us.

NOTICE: By the time you have noticed this notice, you will have noticed that this notice is not worth noticing.

Much as I hate to say it (not really), I'd get rid of the bum before he screws up your kids completely, not to say you.

 

I don't know of the syndrome you refer to; I think it's called laziness.  I speak from firsthand experience, as I am also afflicted with it; not to the degree your husband seems to be, however.

I wish I could tell you exactly what to do.  But, clearly, he is troubled and should be encouraged to talk with a professional about his behaviour.  Couple's counseling would be nice, if he'd agree...Whether he does or not, you could probably benefit from some professional counseling to help you deal with stress and possibly get suggestions.

Hell hath no fury like a SCORPIO woman scorned..!

i think your last sentence:  He has gone completely wacko and I am afraid of what is going to happen to all of us.  is an indicator of what you should do. 

if you are worried he's going to hurt you, it's time to leave.  protect yourself and protect your children since your husband is unable and unwilling to do so.
