Call a dv support service in your area. They will help you leave. Itās verbal and emotional abuse and can escalate to physical at any time.
First are you a citizen? That really matters as to how you go abt getting help . If you are then start documenting this issue and seek a womans abuse origination.
If your not then get out but be care because you may not get custody.
You dont need to live like this .

He CAN control himselfā¦he CHOOSES not too. If he truly could not control himself, he would be screaming, cussing, and yelling at work too. Dont enable him
Flat out stop cooking, cleaning. Just make sure your kids are fed and donāt make him crap if he insists on yelling at you. 2 jobs or not it does not give him the right to be a asshole
You can always do something about it and thereās always options on where to go. Look around for local resources. Do anything you can but please do not stay somewhere you donāt stay safe or are not happy at.
Thatās called Domestic Violence. He doesnāt love you and itās only going to get worse for you and the kids. If your children continue seeing their fathers erratic behavior it will destroy them forever.
File a police report for domestic violence, file an emergency protective order for you and the kids so he cannot be home or anywhere near you and the children.
Him being angry all the time sounds like he can be unpredictable. He might not hurt the children but he will kill you if in a state of rage and given the chance.
Tell the police everything. This is key evidence in gaining full custody of your children and him having supervised visitation because of his violent behavior. Alert authorities now before he ends up killing you or even worse, taking the kids away forever.
Being mean to you in front of your kids is not a good father. You and your kids deserve so much more! Iām not sure of any advice but remember your happiness matters!

The answer is yes you can have friends and yes there is help for you out there. Your NOT alone. If you need some resources reach out to me and I will help you out as much as possible. Your children and yourself has no reason to be living like this. This is not an good example for your children. I give you power of strength and love that you will find the right solution for your children and for yourself. I am also not here to judge you in any means. I just want happiness for your children and you.

First of all, I am so sorry you are being treated this way. It is not your fault. This type of personality seeks vulnerable people who donāt have a support system as a way to have power and control. I am speaking as a professional counselor. Find out if there is a local agency or program for victims of domestic violence. That is what this is, even if heās not physically hurting you. It is emotional and verbal abuse and is about control for him. It is traumatizing for you and your children to live in this environment. They can help you with plans and resources if you want to leave. If you donāt know of a place like this, seek counseling for yourself through a counselor or social worker. They can help as well, and connect you to resources in your area. Now is a good time to seek counseling because you can do telehealth from home because of the pandemic. Take care.

This is sad. He is using his power to control you. Please donāt settle in this kind of life. You will be miserable. Find the courage to leave him. This is for your mental health, and for the kids as well. I know it is hard. And i feel stupid giving advice but not being able to help at all. Still, find the courage to leave him. Leave before it becomes worse. Prayers for you.

Abuse!Iām going to be blunt. Reread what you wrote and ask yourself, is he really a good father when he is behaving this way, and in front of kids, and treating their mother this way. Its abuse. Abusing you, and abusing the kids. Verbal and emotional abuse can be just as damaging to the soul as physical abuse. Call shelters for women tell them your situation. See if you can get advice from a lawyer.
First, sit down and have a talk with him He needs a break and not work so much. Is he working to avoid being a father and husband? Is he working 7 days a week because he feels obligated to do so? Itās ok to scrape by to have days off and quality time with family. If he refuses to sit and talk , thatās your answer where he stands. Do the steps to make it work before giving up. Prayers

I donāt know what City and State your in but there are some really good Womenās shelters that will take you and your children I would suggest you start looking when heās away at work. Most of the shelters have job training programs they help you with education. The shelters are all high security so once you get in you are safe. I know the one in our City even helps with daycare for the children. Donāt ever think your stuck because your not. Some shelters will have a waiting list but some donāt they take you on a emergency basis. Your first step is to check shelters in your area. Just take the first step you and your children will be so much better off. There are always choices no one should live the way you do . You deserve more ! Good luck. First step is the hardest.

You donāt need a degree to care for yourself and your kids!! Donāt wait, leave now! He is not going to change, its only going to get worse. Ask yourself this. Do you want your kids to think this is normal and do this to their spouseās when they are grown and see you as weak or do you want them to see you as a strong woman. One that will show them how a man is supposed to treat a woman. Starting over isnāt easy but you can do it!! Pack a few bags and either stay with someone temporarily or go to a shelter when he leaves for work. If you get a restraining order it will go towards showing the courts that you took the kids to protect them and yourself.

I was in an abusive relation for 15 years with 3 kids. The abuse went from emotional, mental and verbal, to physical and sexual. He had me convinced that I had no place to go and nobody would ever want a woman and 3 kids. Trying to get away from him was the hardest thing I ever did. I did not have a degree and the only family around was his. I worked 3 jobs while raising 3 boys while constantly looking over my shoulder. So being tired is no excuse. You need to talk to somebody. Police can led you to a womanās shelter. They are very private and can hopefully push you in the right direction. My father was abusive and then I married someone like him. Please leave before it gets worse. I will be praying for you.

If you have to add a ābutā to āheās a good fatherā, chances are, heās not.
I see so many people defending him. But you can be burnt out and still have respect for people. I have 4 children. I donāt get breaks other than after bedtime when Iām exhausted. But even on my most impatient days, I donāt just yell at everyone for every tiny inconvenience. I TRY not to yell at all. (Obviously it happens sometimes. Iām human).
I agree heās probably burnt out and needs a break. But that doesnāt give him an excuse to be abusive. Think about the example heās setting for your kids. They will learn that thatās how you treat people when youāre upset.
Also. Seeing and hearing him yelling at you can also be traumatic and can cause some major issues with their mental health as they grow up.

You need to make a stand and decide what is best for you and your kids.

I know you probably feel āstuckā but you can become āunstuck little by littleā I would recommend to call your local police station non emergency line they will point you in the right direction to where to get help. There are many women going thru what you are thru you are not alone and there are resources that can help you get a job, childcare, a place to live, legal help,etc. I know people can say leave get out and that is easier said than done. Maybe start therapy for yourself that will help you to become stronger person. My advice would be to have a plan than leave.

Iām unsure what ages and sex youāre kids are, but letās imagine 1 of each.
So a Son growing up listening to and seeing what his father is doing to his mom, can often cause them in later life, to behave in the same to his wife.
Youāre daughter couldnāt expect any different from a husband than the her mom got treated, because it would just be normal in her eyes.
Pick yourself and those beautiful kids and get the hell out this house.
You wonāt be doing yourself or the kids justice by staying.
Heās a narcissist, heās not a tired grumpy guy, and heās definitely not a good dad, by any stretch of the imagination.

You all deserve so much moreā¦ keep in touch these virtual friends that really do care, about you and those little cherubs 
Get a job and start saving $ so u can find your own place to live, take kids and move out. Make him pay support. Donāt know where u live but there are many states that have housing assistance, go fill out for that asap (usually wait lists) ā¦pray everyday that God makes a way for you and the kids. Noone deserves to live in fear and walk on egg shells and your kids deserve a better way of life not learning this type of behavior. A good dad doesnāt verbally abuse his wife in front of the kids and makes them all anxiety ridden by being violent. Its probably not a good idea for a human to work 2 jobs 7 days a week either that makes anyone aggressive. So it seems there needs to be some changes.
He is not a good father if he canāt respect you in front of your childrenā¦find a job and leaveā¦it will be hard but liberatingā¦this is the reason why Women should financially independent ā¦

Verbally abuse is not good for the children and you must think of them first. I grew up with a step father who acted the same and it got worse as we had to watch and endure the verbal and physical abuse. Call 211 and ask to talk with a domestic abuse counselor. They are there to help and can put you in a safe place.

Seek a good counselor to see if your marriage can be saved. He can change if heās willing to put in the work, but as long as you accept his verbal abuse, nothing will change and possibly will get worse. Do you love him and want to save your marriage, or are you staying out of fear for the kids? If you donāt love him, get out. If you love him, only stay if heās willing to go to counseling and get some help with his anger issues.
Also, if heās working 2 jobs, could you find a cashier or sales position, even part-time, so he doesnāt have to work so many hours. No one can work 7 days a week without a day off and not have it affect them.
Their are womenās centers that will help you and your children. No one should be treated this way. Best of luck, get help for your sake and your childrens.

No, he is a terrible father for treating you that way period. Also, using that bad language in front of them and more than likely towards them. Iād start calling local domestic violence womenās shelters in your area. Make a plan and then Iād take my kids and Iād leave! As for him, he would be alone and be angry! Something has to give. (SN: if my husband EVER yelled at me or got mad because supper was late getting on te table, Iād throw a plate of food right in his face! Then Iād ask him was that late!! Just me though!)
If you have sons, he is teaching them how to treat women. If you have daughters, he is teaching them that this is how to be treated. Leave, for their sake. Ask him to get help, bc he will have rights to see them even if you leave.
Also, if you choose to stay, reach out to mom groups in your area, I am sure that there are plenty of moms who would like to be your friend.
Draw strength from your children and do whats right for them of you have leave and go to shelter its not ideal but you would be safe

Iām sorry u said he is a great father but I have to open your eyes ā¦ disrespecting your childās mother in front of your child is NOT the definition of a good father . You said he has two jobs and works 7 days a week then he is a good provider but that is it . U need to find a way to take your life back and get out of that marriage .

Verbal abuse is still abuse. The difference is the bruises donāt show. Look up places for abuse. Vera House is a common one. They can help you get out.
