Can't believe that my life has come to this.....

WTFhaveIdone's picture

I've previously bitched about my DH and SD10....I've only been on this site four days, but it feels so good to know that I am not alone in this. He is in love with my SD....not in the sexual way but in every other way imaginable. It just hit me today...I thought he wanted his ex back but its not that at all...he doesn't rock the boat with the ex because he HAS to see his BD.

I've never seen a father and daughter so much like a couple. They go visit 'their friends', go to 'their church', stay out doing whatever, she's always picks what they do, what they eat, etc. He won't even go visit people unless he asks her if its ok with her. I hate her and the sad thing is...its not her fault. I hate him, but thats much more appropriate. He is in love with her.....I knew something wasn't right...all the promises he's broken to me for her...all the lies he's told me to be with or doing something for her. They stayed out until about 11pm lastnight visiting their friends...him smelling like a bar. He didn't come to bed until God only knows when and then he wants to act like nothing is wrong...like he didn't tell me to get out, or throw my things into the yard, or tell me I make him sick and that he wants nothing to do with me.

Its been 6 weeks since he has taking me anywhere (take that back last week he took me to the store about a mile from here...but I had to ask if I could go). What happened? I saw red flags..yes I did, but I honestly thought it was because I was the only serious relationship that he had had since his breakup with his ex. I thought (because he said so) that things would change once he had a 'real wife', not a child bride, but they didn't they just got worse.

This is the kicker....they get up and go to church (yes he smelled like a brewery) and then he comes back here and tells me he is sorry for all the name calling (tho I made him do it) and for his angry outburst (tho I made him do it). So I told him thank you and asked if we could talk...he said yes. I asked him if he would give me the money to leave as he had told me in the past that he wanted me to be happy and if things got to be too much that he would help me move. That didn't go over well...he stormed out and went over to the attached apartment, got his mini bride and they went to eat.

We live a couple of streets behind the resteraunt so I could see him and the mini bride getting out of his truck and walking in as though they were the happiest couple in the world. I feel so stupid and believe it or not I'm educated. So what, eh? I'm in a hick town, married to a bigamist, no job, no family/friends here and broke. How does someone allow themselves to get into a position like this.

Repeat: HE IS IN LOVE WITH SD....that breaks my heart...and sickens me. I'm ranting and raving....and to be quite honest...it won't fix the problem but it does feel good to say exactly what I want.

DH...YOU ARE A SICK ASS MAN THAT NEEDS YOUR CHILD TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU AND MAJOR MENTAL HEALTH THERAPY. I trusted you and I will NEVER make that mistake again. I will do WHATEVER it takes to move away from you and start a new life...and will NEVER look back on this with anything but sickness. I have come to HATE you. YOU are a liar and a sick alcoholic. F*ck You so far up your ass that it blinds you!!!

Oh and BTW he also took my wedding rings, the keys to the house and told me that I should be grateful that he lets me live here and doesn't kick me out into the cold.

I think your DH has failed to realize that you can love both your spouse AND your child very equally but you should show it very differently. He might think he is truly putting his child first by doing these things but that couldn't be further from the truth. He is really hindering her by giving her so much power that she doesn't know how to handle at 10. What he should be doing is spending time with her, playing a game or taking her to get an ice cream and asking her how she's doing, how school is going, and find out what's going on in her life once or twice a month. He should be doing the couple things with YOU.

Is there anywhere you can go? Do you have friends or family that could put you up while you get on your feet.

You are being abused. Your husband is an abuser, and I am afraid you may be in real danger. Please get out and get to safety. Rethink what you are doing with someone who treats you so badly! You don't deserve it!

I agree completely. Get out now and do not let him know that you are leaving or where you are going. Statistically abusers get more violent and controlling when their partner attempts to leave the relationship. Isolationist behaviour is a huge, huge danger sign. Call your family and close friends and let them know what is going on.

Thank you both for such helpful comments. I thought he could just kick me out and tho I am not a wimp it is scaring me a bit...as for the 'couple thing' I agree. He just came back here and told me we could get a divorce for 149.00 if we didn't contest anything, but then when I asked him for money again to move he said no way. I told him that I didn't get here alone and he should take part of the responsibility of helping me leave..all he said was 'I'll get a truck and load your shit up, thats my part".

I can't even cry.....too shocked to do so and the last time he saw me cry he made fun of me. Not this time.

After you file for divorce and are somewhere safe, you can sue him for alimony, which you deserve. Dont mention it to him, just do it when you are some place safe.

WTFhaveIdone's picture

Goodbyenormajearn...there is nothing in the divorce papers. We've only been married 6 months. I hope you guys are right about him not being able to kick me out. I don't have anyone to borrow money from as I just borrowed 6000 from my mom for dental work. I'd be too embarrassed to ask for anything more and she is retired...

I will find out if I have the job I applied for last week sometime this week, but it will still take a little time....7 days ago he was telling me how much he loved me and needed me and then when I asked if we could have a weekend alone....the shit hit the fan.

Thank you guys for reading and responding. I can't let him see I'm on here as he has threatened to cut off the internet and electricity if I 'get smart with him again'.

It's called The Cycle of Abuse. Please get out.

I lived with a guy like that... ( minus the kid and the marriage) and he changed the locks etc. I got the police involved when I finally was ready to get out. ( I had to hide money to get out) anyway, he can't just throw you out.

Keep strong, look for a job. I suggest indeed.com for local stuff and play nice until you have everything together. To keep him happy just feed him more alcohol and tell him how great he is and think in your head he is an idiot. Also, start organize what is yours so when you can make your break it doesn't take long to get it all packed. If he asks why oyou are cleaning tell him - that you really want to make it work and you are trying to give him the nicest home ever. Men are stupid especially if they are drunks!

Good Luck

My family/friends live out of state, but I am sitting here thinking of ways to get myself out of this. I know I could leave my belongings and that my life is more important than 'things' I just hate to lose everything I own...its all I have left.

I'm in the only room of the renovated house that is done. They are in the apartment. I'm just trying to lay low and maybe he will forget I am here. And Whimsey6...you are right, he knows that I know that his behavior towards he daughter is not healthy and I am a threat to that. He went to therapy a few times and did better but then he quit and has gone right back to 'his norm'...which is not normal at all. I will get out of here this weeks, somehow, someway, with or without my things.

He has a look on his face today that has really made me nervous and has tried to physically block me from coming back into the house when I went out to smoke. If he puts one more hand on me I will call the police.....which I found paperwork upstairs that he was put in jail twice for domestic violence on his ex wife. I just found this 3 days ago and I did NOT dare to confront him about it.

He hid a lot of this very well until we married then slowly but surely he showed just how ugly a human being he is.

Also, if you are looking at apt complexes make sure you give the wrong mailing address. I ended up getting a letter sent to "our" house and he knew I was trying to get out. I lied and said oh I looked when you threw me out the last time and he believed me. But, once I did leave he drove to every apt complex in the area where the letter had come from and found me.

Doesnteatcrow's picture

This may sound odd but would his ex wife help? Sounds like you can let her know that he is driving around and drinking with her daughter in the car, probably the proof she needs to get her daughter?

Doesnteatcrow's picture

I was wondering if the BM is a POS too? Best of luck - just scary that he drives around drinking with her in the car. I have a friend who does it with his kids and we have opted not to hang out with him anymore. His ex knows and doesn't know what to do about it. Sad

WTFhaveIdone's picture

He just came in a few minutes ago and stood there looking at me for about 10 minutes...we didn't say a word. Then he bent down and kissed me on my face....I just set there as to not upset him. He then walked out and came back a few minutes later...he is taking his daughter back in a few minutes and had the nerve to say...'are you going to have dinner with me tonight' and I said no, but thank you. He says 'so you just want me to leave you alone back here' and I said 'yes, thats what you do every weekend and I don't mean it mean, but I'm not going to be a Mon-Thurs wife'. I just want out. He turned around and walked out.

Thank you all for being concerned for SD and myself. You don't even know me.....thank you!!

WTFhaveIdone's picture

BTW...BM is a nut case also...she doesn't like me around at all and even told DH that SD came home with a headache a couple of weeks ago and BM told him she thought I tried to poison her. We ate the same thing and even cooked it together....it never stops.

You state that the things you have are all you have left...really? No, what you have left is YOU! And out of all the things out there, there is nobody more important that YOU. If your things were more important than you, you would stay and play along...but you too realize that the most important thing you have in your life is YOU.

I wish I was close...sigh...Please, please, I can assure you that if your mother loaned you 6K for dental work, she would not mind if you moved in with her. Call her up, ask her for a ticket...take off the day is is at work...leave your stuff behind except what is absolutely necessary...Never look back.

Joint property huh?

So when you are just about ready to leave, make sure you are alone, and find those precious things that DH loves and annhilate them.

Throw his best aftershave away and replace it with your urine, give the toilet a lovely scrub with his toothbrush, put some fish in the ventilators and treat his shiny truck to a good keying.

Go through his things like a spy and gather up anything you can sell. Cut off the plugs to his prize tv and break your key off in the door as you leave.

I am not a vengeful person, but by god this piece of rubbish is asking for all of the above and more. After all an eye for an eye, you have plausible deniability on your side, as well as the marital property arguement.

Then when you are home you hire yourself an awesome lawyer and kick his bony sad arse while you look him in the eye and smile.

He left about an hour ago to take the kiddie back so I have been snooping to see what I could find. He has a couple of money jars with about 600 hundred bucks in them. I guess I can wait for him to leave for work one day this week and take the money and run. He took my rings so all is fair in love and war I guess. I have people who are willing to help me move my things...just need to make sure I have enough cash to rent a truck/storage...other than that I would rather live on the street then to deal with him and his sickness any longer.

I have gotten such good advice from you guys and I will call some of these places tomorrow and see what they can do to help.

A big THANKS!!

i rented a uhaul once and it wasn't that expensive. could be different depending on how far you are going, but if you are just going to rent a storage unit locally, it shouldn't be too bad. absolutely you should take that money and get out of there! make sure someone is there with you in case he smells something and comes home early to check on you. see if a police officer would be willing to just be there, or if you feel safe with friends, a couple of them. good luck and please don't fall off the radar, people on here, including me, will worry!

WTFhaveIdone's picture

Some of you will think I'm crazy, but others will understand. He came in here and asked me if I wanted to talk...I said yes and this is what I want to talk to you about.

Me: I have called the police and told them that you were throwing my stuff out in the yard, threatening me, trying to kick me out, and have been in jail twice for domestic violence in the past. I told him that the cop said that he can't throw you or your stuff out. If he does it again call, and I don't care who he is i'll take his ass straight to jail for the 3rd time' I also told DH that I called CPS and asked questions about him sleeping with his daughter until I threw a fit and drinking and driving every weekend while she was in the car (his BM is moving to Oregon in a couple of months and he is worried about the visitation anyway), and I told him that I would contact BM and testify against him if I needed to. I added a few more hateful ass remarks as I am tired of him controlling me and being a bully.

DH just set there and stared at me, not believing what he was hearing and said...'I'll give you the 800 to move...I don't want any problems with my child'.

I then told him that he was a pathetic excuse for a husband and a father and that I hated him and was glad that the SD was moving away with the BM and her new hubby because maybe the new step dad would set boundaries and show SD a healthy father-daughter relationship so she would grow up healthy. I said quite a few more very mean, but true things and DH tucked his little bully tail...after I said 'now get the fuck out of my room and don't come back'.

OMG...that felt so good. I'm trying to find some local guys to help me move and of course I'll rent a truck. I feel alive again for the first time in 6 months. I took a gamble and thank God this time it paid off. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner...there is nothing he would not do to be with SD (and not because she is his daughter). Thanks again!!!

WTFhaveIdone's picture

OMG stepdown...I hope he doesn't he is loving her to emotional death. I hate that I can't 'save' her, but I will call CPS even though I told him I wouldn't. Hell he's lied to me enough and she needs someone to protect her. I'm happy for me, but sad for her. What makes people this way? I'm not perfect but I can't wrap my head around it...at all.

WTFhaveIdone's picture

A little update....so we do not see/talk to each other after our confrontation lastnight. He was gone for work when I got up this morning (or so I thought)...he shows up and is sneaking around the house...I know he is up to something. Then I see him loading things into his truck including a huge money jar that he has.

Then it hit me....he is going to leave and not give me the money like he had said he would...I went out there and confronted him and of course he lied saying 'I was just going to go cash in all this change and give you cash instead....I didn't see the need to touch my account when I had all this change here'. I said I don't mind change mister....don't worry about me I'll take it just the way it is' I guess he felt like he had been busted so he gave in....this is the KICKER....

I'm on the ground like a piece of trash counting out quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies and he starts trying to have sex with me. I couldn't believe it!!!! It was disgusting and so is he. Then when I thought it couldn't get any worse....he said 'you've been a whore since you were 12 (because I had been molested) and then I told him 'no I was eight' (I was really in shock) and then he asked 'did they do you at the same time"? and I had tears by then and I said w'hy would you want to know that so you could fantasize about it later'? His reply 'no, just because your sick'.

It took him forever to leave and he kept taking more and more stuff to his truck..and saying 'your not going to tear my stuff up are you'? I was like...no I don't want that kind of behavior from either of us. Well later I found my good sunglasses smashed...more stuff missing. In other words he was paranoid because of the stealing/destroying that he had done. I called and the cops came out and took a report...they can't do anything as its joint property. Ain't that the shit?

The move is setup for Thursday, but I told him it was for Friday as I don't want him here....watching...gloating, ya know? Another ME ME ME...sorry, but this sucks!!

Stepdown you are so sweet and supportive....Delilah you are naughty and supportive, lol thank you both so much. I just have to make it the next two full days and though he said he would be back Friday he also made a comment that he might need to drop by and pick up a few things tomorrow. I soooo hope he doesn't. If he isn't here during the move...I do have a few small tricks up my sleeve, but I love the one about the tv cord so thats a done deal if at all possible. I hate stooping to that level, but no tv this weekend will be hard for him and unfortuately the SD.

Do I cut it up far to the tv so he can't repair it?

WTFhaveIdone's picture

I know you right and I won't do anything but I sure enjoy thinking about it...plus I'm the type that would feel guilty afterwards. So I really wouldn't be 'winning' anything.

WTFhaveIdone's picture

That guy was a jerk......and I'm glad the men at the shelter were will clothed, lol.

I like the 'karma' thing better than revenge I think. All the fun and non of the guilt. I truly believe he will get his and though I like my SD I also like the fact that when she and BM move out of state in a couple of months he will go mad!! Oh well.....wouldn't take much.

How are you doing?
