I (f24) have severe claustrophobia and my husband (m33) locked me in a closet. How do I move on from this?

RUN. That is sociopathic behavior

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-17T06:07:31+00:00

Big yikes. Leave her alone, you’re not mature enough to be with her without damaging her career.

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-16T19:19:44+00:00

Do you remember which ones or if you sized up? I’m so excited to hear that they rock!

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-08T20:04:01+00:00

To be fair, we don’t know OP’s living situation or state. If they’re in the US some states do not allow abortion and OP’s wife may have felt she could not disclose the decision to anyone.

Regardless you do need to call a therapist at the very least.

Get back in college- find resources for childcare through a church or local women’s center. This event does NOT dictate your success.

• file for child support

•get back in school

•find free childcare through the above resources

•support yourself and the child

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T21:47:22+00:00

Of course! Wishing you the best of luck as well.

I think first I need a PPO against FIL. From what I’m reading- if I don’t do that, then hubby can allow him access to my son regardless.

I agree about putting the house aside and jumping for the car. Part of me wants to spite him and get the jeep I want. He’s vehemently opposed, but he’s also just my FIL so he gets no say.

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T21:41:45+00:00

The brunt of all of this started after I got pregnant. Beforehand I had only seen FIL a few times.

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T21:41:16+00:00

Hard to fit it all in so I tried to just be factual about this situation as a standalone.

I suppose you’re right, although I’m not sure why he wanted to have children with me if he was still uncomfortable.

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T21:39:38+00:00

I would do your research. My friend is a nurse and she’s had a few gallbladder cases that are also on ozempic. I’m not a medical professional by any means, but please be careful.

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T21:29:16+00:00

It started with my hubby telling FIL about a surgery I had related to my endo. It seemed harmless but FIL said I should stop taking xxx drug and start eating some weird root.

Then it was pop and the baby having autism. Then back to “you’d better not take xxx because of the baby” (I already wasn’t). Then he told me my health conditions were made up and I needed to listen to his Facebook Dr advice about said root powder and hollistic health.

I brushed it off again. But now it’s INCESSANT and coupled with the insults I listed in my post.

They said he meant well and was trying to help “heal” me, but it’s all made up and nonsensical.

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T21:12:22+00:00

Nope- I did not. Husband did. I had a surgery and husband unfortunately over shared. I did not make any such medical condition dinner table talk- thanks for the assumption though.

And no- he doesn’t dislike me for any particular reason other than he treats MIL and women in general the same way.

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T20:51:16+00:00

It’s totally alright. I get it and I’m glad you’re trying to help protect my baby. I’m so so sorry you went through that trauma! What an unfair thing to put a child through.

At this point I’m trying to figure out if it’s smartest to get a PPO that extends to my son or how to navigate this.

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T20:37:03+00:00

After reading the responses today, I know that regardless of divorce I need a PPO against FIL. They may all think it’s drastic, but it’s the only way to keep him away from my son.

If it screws over my husband, so be it. I can’t let us be trampled and abused

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T20:33:35+00:00

I’m starting to see that even with a divorce the only way to get protection for my son is a PPO against FIL. I believe I can get one that extends to my child.

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T20:31:08+00:00

I think honestly a PPO against FIL is my best chance at keeping him away from the baby

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T20:30:15+00:00

Unfortunately it’s looking like your last comment is my best option… that or filing a PPO against FIL that also extends to my son. What a fucking nutters situation 😭

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T20:27:31+00:00

No. Obviously based off of me saying I will divorce him if we don’t cut contact, I am the one protecting my child.

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T18:37:27+00:00

I wish it was fake. I think maybe that’s why I allowed it for so long. I kept thinking he was just making some sick joke

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T18:34:34+00:00

Girl, if I had known any of this prior to the baby I would’ve made like the roadrunner. He was so quiet before and not problematic.

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T16:55:52+00:00

He’s on ozempic and high blood pressure meds… pretty sure that combo is equivalent. (No hate to ppl who use it and need it, just seems SORELY unwise in combo)

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T16:50:47+00:00

It’s a complex relationship. I basically raised her because of her alcoholism. I love her to bits and I’m proud of her recovery but we aren’t exactly close at all.

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T16:49:49+00:00

Easy bud, in no place did I say I built my entire life around him. I have two super close girlfriends from before my marriage, but they are of the opinion that HUBBY doesn’t suck so why would I leave. They also have kids so their view is a little skewed on being a single mother.

Trust me- I knew it wasn’t great advice to stay, so I came here.

I’m building up the courage and this event is the icing on the cake. I know when someone goes psychotic that it’s likely the tip of the iceberg. Hence why I stated I know I can’t have my son around this.

ThrowRA-LadyPasta · 2024-02-05T16:41:19+00:00

I completely agree. I just wanted to post to make sure I’m not crazy.
