Dear Sara,
I've been a stay at home Mom since
my first baby was born 10 years
ago. My two boys are eight and ten
years old and I have enjoyed being
a full time Mom.
My husband Brad has been really
critical of me lately, calling me a "fat
slob" and lazy. My boys are old
enough to be aware of his disrespect
and I worry about it as much for
their sake as for mine. I could get a
job but I feel I'm needed more at
home. What should I do?
Jo Ellen
Dear Jo Ellen,
Nobody should be disrespected, so
you are right to be concerned about
it.
I'm wondering what Brad's agenda is
here. Does he need to make himself
feel better by belittling you? Are you
in a financial bind where he feels
overwhelmed and needs help? Is he
concerned about your weight and
wants you to look better and be
healthier?
Let Brad know how you feel and see if
you can determine what his motive is
for being critical of you. If he can tell
you what the problem is, then you can
work things out together.
If he won't talk about it and can't be
respectful then you may need some
professional counseling to work things
out. If he won't go with you then go
on your own.
Don't let this go on until your self
esteem is in the toilet. Your problem
is deeper than whether you go to
work or not.
