Physical & Emotional Abuse Support Group
Abuse is a general term for the treatment of someone that causes some kind of harm (to the abused person, to the abusers themselves, or to someone else) that is unlawful or wrongful. No one deserves abuse, period. Abuse can be emotional, physical, or sexual.
I have been married to my husband for almost 4 years. More than half of that time he has been DX with Dissocative Idenity Disorder (formaly known as Multiple Personalities). I know that alot of what he says and does is not directed at me but it still harms my soul when he is screaming and yelling at me.
I feel like he would be a wonderful husband if he would get this all straightened up. He is going to therapy now and getting help. He is willing to get help for his problem but until his therapy has progressed to the point where he is able to deal with these things internally between them all I don't know what to do.
I am not even sure if this is considered abuse but the is the closest thing I can think of to get some support.

That's a tough one.
Screaming and yelling don't make for a peace home, hearth or heart.
We take vows to stick out sickness, worse, etc., etc.
But unless you're into reincarnation, this is our chance to enjoy this planet and this life.
If your husband can get improvement with therapy and meds, I'd say give it a reasonable chance. But I myself would define a timeframe, at the end of which, unless there was some decrease in the abusive-type behavior, I'd have to reconsider the agreement, with self-care a primary consideration.
Good luck. Please take good care of yourself.
