I earn good money and can afford to move out.
My son is often frightened by my wife’s violent outbursts.
She has a short temper and when she gets upset with our son, she starts behaving aggressively towards him.
She threatens to kill him and sometimes hits him.
She has always been aggressive, kicking doors and punching walls.
It has been tough to manage her emotions.
I’m 38 and my wife’s 35. We have been together for ten years and our son is six.
I am becoming so depressed and really want to move out.

If I do nothing, I face the fact that I will be living a dead life for the next 20 years.

DEIDRE SAYS: You’re right to be concerned about your son’s emotional well-being.
He’s being abused and is suffering.
You’re an adult and can handle your wife’s unpredictable moods but your son is helpless.
Your wife either has a personality disorder or she comes from an emotionally abusive home (and this is all she knows), or both.
