Ask Amy: Mother frets over monstrous middle name
You are right: his behavior is concerning.
Now that At A Loss is retired, her social relationships are important for her safety and wellness. Abusers work hard to alienate their victims.
My ex-husband did this. A healthy, caring spouse would not avoid his own children or seek to alienate her from her own.
– Abuse Survivor
Dear Survivor: This husband seemed quite jealous over his wife’s affectionate attachment to her children. This does not bode well for their future.
