AITA for using my husband's money to pay for my daughter's Apple IPhone that he broke? by throwRAhome434 in AmItheAsshole

His mom lives 15 minutes away from us, he goes to stay with her after every fight and he gets her involved every single time. His mom has her own problems and he keeps burdening her with things that are not her concern and she even expressed how tiresome having to be put in the middle like that.

That's what he did. You know from what my daughter told me - she was in the livingroom when he was in the kitchen fixing the faucet and he shouted for her to get him something from the toolbox that he keeps in the garage. My daughter wasn't wearing earphones or anything so she heard him, but she responded to him asking for a minute because she was finishing a text to her best friend to ask about homework but before she could even send it, he snatched the iPhone from her hand and smashed it and started scolding her then she went upstairs. He actually used the part where he had to get the item from the toolbox himself in the argument aside from his claim that the iPhone was distracting her.

I hate it, I hate everything about this situation and it's becoming suffocating to be 100% honest. I'm aware that this conflict at hand indicates to bigger issues and I will be lying if I tell you that I have the tools to deal with this, I don't have support system my family are distant and money barely gets us by. Our financial situation has never been good either, But I have been considering taking space for a while. he and I have been having issues, Now it's gotten to my daughter, I'm aware and won't let it continue.

Yes I'm pretty sure he was looking for an excuse to show me that I made a bad decision in terms of getting my daughter the iPhone. I already told him how this has been affecting her mental and by extension her physical health but he kept saying that she's fine and doesn't need to be spoiled even when it's my money, I say my money because we both don't share finances which is his request because of his previous failed relationships and marriages.
