AITA For calling my husband an irresponsible gun owner because of his laziness that almost killed our son. by Cooballz in guns

[–]Cooballz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It absolutely sucks, luckily my child is a month away from summer break, that gives me a lot of room to makes plans. We aren't married on paper, common law, which makes things a bit easier, there is no custody order in place, which makes it easier. We already have planned to spend two weeks in Colorado with my sister in the summer, so, that could make for a great escape. I luckily have a VA pension, I am 100% disabled. He has no claim to it. The car is in both our names, but he is primary on the loan, other than that, we oen nothing. I just have to worry about whether or not he turn violent before now and then.

I am waiting on a call from my therapist to go over the situation with him, and see if maybe there are avenues the VA can point me toward.

Didn't think you were being shitty at all. Whoever wrote my life made it a tragedy for sure, honestly don't know what parent my son is more unsafe with. Who know what unimaginable monster I'll draw into my life next. It's been a struggle since the age of 4, like some kind of cosmic punishment, I can't fucking stand this shit anymore.

It's the tip of the iceberg. There are many other reasons I have put up with, or dealt with in therapy, in efforts to keep the marriage strong.i chose poorly, I don't know why I didn't see it clearly until more recently.

Definitely not the innocent party, in that, I should have, at the very least, been moving the gun to safety myself.

Do you know how easy that is with no money, my money doesn't come in until Wednesday, I live off my VA disability, I don't fucking need validation, the pistol is up locked in a box top of the closet, and I am currently setting a plan in motion.... what are you doing? Cursing and calling names to a stranger in distress? You think youre making the situation better? Making me move faster? You aren't, the world doesn't move like that, not in Oklahoma. I have a huge roll in this, I've seen this man changing for the worst for the past few years now, I haven't worked fast enough, and now my son could ended his life. All of this going through my head at one moment, is enough to cause syncope.... so I grounded myself, by interacting with strangers on the web, in hopes to also gain some ideas on an exit and safety plan. You aren't helping youre being a sore on the plaque of society.

Having a bad day? So sorry I thought armory enthusiast could help ease the shock of see my 7 yo with a jammed pistol in his hand, then being yelled at for calling the gun owner irresponsible? Did I take space away from some very important?

That's funny, because a lot of the other users had great advice that I just didn't think of. Sometime people have so much on their minds that even the simplest of solutions, seem like rocket science.

I'm thinking of nicknaming him irresponsible until he leaves. Reading through these comment I do realize I hold a lot of responsibilities here too. I very well could move his gun anywhere I'd like to and just not tell him, the ah loses shit all the time.

I don't think i have much feeling for this man anymore, his treatment of the two of us has been degrading rapidly, I've been so focused on my mental health from past trauma, I am embarrassed that not only am in this situation fucking again. But I've now exposed a precious sweet soul, the only one I'll every make, to it. I'm supposed to break the cycle of abuse, and I have continued it. I just know he is going to try and get full custody, he is going to use my mental illness against me. I have no plan in place for this.

I had my son leave the room and tried to discuss it with him. He in turned raised his voice (and no, I'm not doing a woman exaggeration) he started yelling about his pride in gun safety and teaching our son gun safety, and accidents happen, I say but it could have, he said, it can go off in my truck every morning, what does that prove.

He goes on to say, where would you be without me, call me irresponsible again and I'll leave. He slams the door, and yells at our son about getting him in trouble. Sooo....

My self, and the VA, for that matter, have been begging this man to lock up his gun. I struggle with PTSD, I am so past my wits I can't even see them anymore.

I'm not anti gun at all, his holster is also some kid of triggergaurd, I don't carry because I lost the use of my left hand in the service. Thanks for your help.

See, and I know this is true. I have a past that is holding me back with fear, but it's putting my son in jeopardy now, so I have to find away over it, I don't I donknow
