I am in my early 40's and have been in a
relationship for a little over 2 years.
Also, been trying to get divorced for the
past 3 years. For the first year and a
half he was kind, considerate, patient and
communicated, now he still can be kind,
considerate and patient but his form of
communication is sudden outbursts and
wants it over right then. Then he calls
and says he doesn't know what is wrong
with him. When he gets in this type of
mood he always says the meanest and most
hateful things to me.

In the past
year, my mother passed away, since then I
am taking care of my 77 year old father
who has Parkinson's Disease, have a 17
year old daughter. I know I don't need to
be in this type of relationship but the
problem is that some of my personal
belongings are at his house and I don't
know what is the appropriate way to get my
things without having another fight. (when
he says he wants it over and my things
gone he says he wants it gone right then
and there) When he gets like that there is
no talking to him at all. How do I do
this? And why does this keep happening to
me? I forgot to add earlier that this
started to get really bad after my mother
passed and I moved back to care for my
father. (after Hurricane Katrina my job
moved us to a temporary building an hour
and 1/2 away and I staed up there Monday
through Friday until my mother got sick
and passed) Altogether I was in
Hattiesburg 8 months. PLEASE HELP!
