Don't Talk To Me!

by Anonymous

My spouse is verbally abusive and can not stand for me to respond to the abuse. He must have the first and the last word in any disagreement which leaves me feeling that my thoughts and feeling are not valued.

His continued excuse is that he is an "alpha" male and I am not used to dealing with a male with his type of ego.

I see this situation as having no solution. What are your thoughts?

Response from Dr. DeFoore

Hello, and thanks for telling your story here. Fortunately, there are a lot of solutions. And you are not alone--many other women deal with this type of relationship on a daily basis, which is why I have so many pages on this web site devoted to helping people just like you.

Read through each of these pages, and hopefully you will come up with the right solution for you.

The bottom line here is that if you don't take care of yourself, no one will. You are worthy of respect, and without respect, there is no true and lasting love.

My very best to you,

Dr. DeFoore
