Question I been in realationship for 15 yr about 2 years ago he hit me and went jail he took DV counseling I took him back. he hasnt hit me since, but every now then he gets mad and starts smashing and destroying things and gets in face and yells at me I always threaten to leave but dont go through with it always stay for my kids sake is something wrong with me.dose he need counseling again
Answer Wrong question, I think, Joan.
He gets mad, he starts smashing and destroying things. Your kids are growing up with this going on in their life.
What about you?
You see, his behaviour is pretty unacceptable, but what about you?
Why are threatening to leave and staying put? Why did you take him back? What responsibility are you taking for your choices?
What are you teaching him by putting up with whatever he dishes out? Albeit theatening and complaining that you won't.
You need to decide to take charge of your own life. Trying to send your partner off again for counselling is no substitute for that.
