Everytime I wake up to a post-it note on a door or counter my heart drops and I feel sick. When my AH gets really drunk he leaves me nasty notes about stuff that makes no sense. Imagined slights, things I may have said a month ago that he took wrong is scribbled in a drunken scrawl of hatred.
Lately it's been getting worse. Last week he left me a nasty note saying that "he can't believe I would say that to him" and how hurt he is, blah blah blah. I had no idea what he was talking about. When he woke up I showed him the note and asked him what the hell it meant and it was from a dream he had that he thought was real. Now I'm being terrorized on paper for his dreams?
My AH sleeps all day and drinks all night. So the other night I asked him to do something on the computer for me and he said "he didn't have time." I said, "of course you have time, you don't go to bed until 7 a.m. anyway." This was NOT a nasty comment for I live on the same schedule he does. It's a running joke between he and I, that we live like vampires.
Yesterday I woke to a nasty note about how dare I judge him for his sleeping schedule and what a piece of shit I am. Again, I thought he was writing me about another dream so I asked him about it when he woke up. Usually we kinda laugh off his notes but yesterday he was dead serious. When I tried to explain it was a misunderstanding, he wouldn't let me get a word in. After 26 years I thought he couldn't shock me anymore. WRONG.
I guess I should feel better the "notes" I see the next day are graffiti hatred in little places that I discover...the basement wall, a note on the fridge, on a roll of tape. He screamed a nasty racist name at me the other day for the first time. I flipped out and he immediately apologized but now that's in my head for forever. Mine drinks all night and sleeps all day too.
You said it sister! I was horribly verbally abused since birth. My father called me every word in the book all day, every day. My trigger word is "asshole." My AH knows this very well. My AH mentioned the other day how awful my dad was for calling me horrible names my whole life.
Yea, it's kinda not fun anymore, huh?
Guess which word he called me the other morning?
