(USA) My husband seems to hate me and has serious control issues and gets angry with me daily about anything. He continually puts me down whether it be my cooking or my parenting. Does anyone else experience this with their spouse?

(USA) Hi Shelley, Sorry to hear what you are going through in your marriage. It may be of small comfort but I did want to tell you that you are definitely not the only one.
I (and my husband) are currently healing from an abusive marriage (physically and verbally, which always translates to emotional abuse). There are still days where the verbal continues but they are fewer than ever before. They may not ever go away completely but in the process of us confronting the problem and doing something about it (instead of just praying and hoping it would go away; our church ultimately had to step in because my physical safety and my son’s was in doubt), my relationship with the Lord has changed and become so much stronger that when the angry behavior does come up, I handle it much differently than before.
I no longer feel a total lack of hope. Drawing close to the Lord is what helps us overcome but that’s not to say that other people’s problems don’t affect us at all or should be ignored, especially if they are serious ones.
I wanted to suggest to you to go to the comments on the "power of a praying wife" article page on this website. There are a LOT of women there in various stages of overcoming and struggle and there is probably a lot of information that you can use. Here is the link :
