Dear Abby advises a woman looking to leave her emotionally abusive husband and a mother heartbroken over her son distancing himself from the family.
I’d like some advice about a family situation that has been going on for the entire 34 years of my marriage. My husband is not kind to my now-grown sons. He gives me the silent treatment for weeks over small disagreements. My eldest son visited us for my 75th birthday and, after receiving my spouse’s cold shoulder, he informed me he won’t be visiting again because of my husband’s rude behavior.
I want to keep things calm, but I want to leave in another year with some proceeds from the sale of the house. We no longer sleep together and we talk less to avoid disagreements. I don’t even want to cook for him, but I do it to avoid his negative reactions. What can I do? —Dear Abby: My obnoxious uncle is ruining holidays — but his wife is so sweetQuietly consult an attorney and discuss the fact that you are in a very long, unhappy and emotionally abusive marriage.
