Personality Disorder, I think my husband has a personality disorder, but I'm not sure??

I am so afraid to ask, or say anything to my husband, in fear he will start screaming and yelling at me, you never what could set him off, it's like walking on eggshells, and he does it in front of my daughter. He will call me any name he can think of, and blame anything that goes wrong on me??Example, I put a sheet on wrong, and he yelled at me for 1 hour straight.Ex. He saw me in the city, I was coming back from my friends party, I met him at his friends, restaurant, he just stared at me, and asked me why I was there??, and that I was using him for food and drinks"!!!? He told me to leave!! I left and he followed me, started chasing me, while he was screaming, putana, whore, etc. I ran to my car and he tried to get to the door 1st. I beat him to it, and locked myself in the car.I never did anything and still do not know why he did this?? Another time, I got a french manicure on my toes, and he wouldn't talk to me until" I took it off".These are just a few examples, it's everything I do, he will call me names for. I asked him for a receipt yesterday, and he started screaming at me that"there was something wrong w/ me, that I was depressed "!! If I was depressed, this to me, is not normal behavior. Does anyone know what could be wrong with him, I am so sick of this, but I cannot leave because of my daughter, he's got alot more money than me, and he told me he would do" whatever it takes, for me to NEVER take my daughter away from him". I think he has something wrong, like a personality disorder, but he can never see what he is doing wrong, and says" I am the one, that has something wrong, he doesn't, ever apologize for his behavior, He also doesn't remember alot of things that he does?He forgets and loses things, yet whenI do it, "I have something wrong w/ me'!!He thinks he is the best thing, since sliced bread, and that he is popular, when, most people do not like him at all.He does not have many friends.I just do not know what to do???

Yesterday's gone and Today is going fast, Tomorrow is all we have, Until it to has passed

Your husband has a difinite personality disorder, he is your proverbial control freak. Nothing you will ever do will please him, and everything you do will be wrong. No matter how benign, you will be at fault. Run, don't walk to get away from him. If you have friends or relatives you can count on, go to them, explain what is going on and ask if they can help you. You may have to go to an abuse center, where they can find you accomadations, and keep your where abouts from him. He will threaten to kill you, he will threaten to kill himself, but you have to ignore his threats, for the sake of your well-being and that of your daughter's. You need to get as far away from him as you can, as soon a possible, for both your sakes. These individuals do not get better with time, but only worse. The more control they gain the more abusive they become. Quit living in Denial and Fear, and get out while you can! For the sake of your daughter, if not yourself, get away from this monster before you end up on a cold hard slab in the morgue and your daughter has to live without a mother for the rest of her life.

Please look in your phone book and find the number of your local abuse hotline. Call them and they can instruct you on how to get out of this situation before it turns more dangerous than it already is and possibly deadly!!!

Emotional and psychological abuse is only the first step. Then the physical abuse begins, (if it has'nt already) and it only escalates from there. Don't let his threats deter you, that is part of his control. And as long as you give him control, he wins.  His anger and rage will only continue to escalate, until something tragic happens, and even then they cannot accept responsibility for their actions, they live in a world of denial, blaming everyone else and everything else for their actions. Only indepth psychiatric treatment, (and sometimes it takes years) and the right medications, can bring about any kind of change in these individuals. Don't allow yourself and your daughter to be the brunt of his anger and don't think you can change him by altering your behavior, it will never happen, because no matter what you do, nothing will ever make him happy or satisify him until he recognizes the flaws in himself that bring about his abberrant behavior, and he rectifies these behaviors through councelling over a long period of time.

All you can do at this time, is see to it that you and your daughter are safe from his wrath and hope that he gets the help he needs.

I would call the police when he starts with the unreasonable screaming.  You can tell them that you think he has gone crazy.  Perhaps they can take him somewhere to get him examined by an expert.  Your situation is very unhealthy for both you and your daughter.  If you need to leave, then you leave. Don't tell him where you are going and do it while he is at work.  I don't know how old your daughter is, but I can bet she will be happier getting away from that situation.  It is time to think of her, and the money issue is not a good reason to stay.  You need for the rest of the world to see him when he is out of control that way, so bring the police into it.

Thank you for the replies, but I have tried calling the police, when he looms over me and looks at me, like he's going to hit me', only once, and because of that, it made things worse. He won't give me money if I do anything he doesn't like, and tells me so. There are no abuse ceneters here in Long Island, everyone has alot of money and he very well known in the area.Other people , well, my brother told me that my situation is not good for his health", and that he can no longer be in touch w/ me(and that's been a year now) my friends , don't really care or believe it, my parents are fed up w/ me and have their own problems and alot of the times, my friends want to be friends with him, since he can help them out when they want good reservations at 1 of his restaurants, my best friend ended going out w/ him, and my other best friend, tells him things I do, and I get yelled at for it. People who do not really know me tell him everything about me, whatever they can, and other friends really don't know what to say or do, strangers tell him" I saw your wife and daughter out, and your daughter was wearing'no socks when it was cold out, or" your daughter was wearing boots when I saw her out with your wife". They want to get in good w/ him. And my daughter,she wants to be w/ him,and she starts yelling to stop screaming, and then he looks at me, and say" you see what you do to your own child"!!! You don't love or care about her, your a bad person, your a zero!!! My daughter feels obligated to be with both of us and sticks up for him, I cannot say anything to her about it, if I do, she starts hysterically crying and if he hears that, forget it!!! He would never kill himself, he thinks way to highly of himself, and he would never kill me, because he knows that he would go to jail, by now, if he touches me. Thank you for your help, but I don't think I can do anything. I think I have to leave, because 1 thing is true, nothing I can do will ever be right.CryThat's why I said, I don't know what to do, I really don't. I don't want to leave my daughter, she will end up hating me, but maybe that might be better than living like this!!!

There is absolutely no reason that you cannot go to a shelter outside of Long Island.  You may have to decide on whether the abuse is bad enough to leave your daughter behind, get yourself relocated, then seek custody.  However, if you abandon her there, it will be very hard to get custody back.  How old is she??  If she would compromise your safety, then you would not be able to take her. You either endure and hurt yourself, or you leave and hurt your relationship with your daughter.  I feel sorry that you have been put in that position.  Men in power love power.  He will never change.  Your daughter will learn later on and only then will she understand.

So, besides going to a shelter, there is nothing else I can really do, right.?? I cannot take my daughter, no judge would allow it because she has been living in the same place for 11 years, and now goes to a private school(Greenvale), in Greenvale, NY., and the judges are usually not game for a child to move out of the place they know and grew up in.O, my daughter is 11.Even if he abuses me, and in front of her, to a court it doesn't matter as long as the child is not being abused, his abuse is severe, psychological abuse, and I mean, severe. When he does, or says something, he looks at me and says" you see what you did"!!! Your a sick person, your a baaaaad person, you have something wrong w/ you, and I will just be sitting there not saying anything??? I don't understand what he is doing to me, or why???? And my daughter is sitting right there, ignoring everything, unless he screams, then she says' to stop screaming".

What happens if you just smile at him, or say, "I know, honey."

I appreciate your situation, however there must be another version (husbands) of this story.  Get counseling, dont get advice from a website

I asked the question because I needed help, because I do not know what to do, and if you can send me the money to go to a therapist, I will go,I can send you the details , that would be very nice of you, thanks, and thanks for the rediculous answer,  if you do not want to help, like other people have, please do not waste my time writing me.My husband doesn't know he has a problem,that's what happens when you have mental illness. Most times, you do not know it.I've been abused for 13 years, I know what I know, and you haven't walked in my shoes, so please do not send me a stupid reply , it wasn't meant for people like you, it was meant for people who are helpful!!!
