[quote]I have a very busy 9 year old son. He gets great grades, behaves in school, but he likes to run around. My new husband of 6 months is constantly yelling at him because he is loud. My children (3 of them) are having a hard enough time just living in the same house with him, because they say he is always making fun of them, or correcting them, or making them feel bad. They are basically afraid of him.
I love the man to death, but I cannot tolerate my children walking on eggshells in their own house. He has 2 of his own, who are at ourhouse each day before and after school to catch the bus and do homework. I tolerate their little issues, and am learning to love them for who they are, not who I expect them to be.
How do I get him to lighten up on my kids? When he keeps his mouth shut, he takes it out on me. It has gottento the point that I am afraid to talk to him about any issue because I'm terrified he will blow up, and do the usual "I'm leaving you" scene that will involve telling his friends, etc. How can I fail again in just 6 months. Please give me some advice. [/quote]
that fear of him exploding on you or the kids... the walking on eggshells...
im sorry but that sound like the later year of my marriage. and the kids "ours" not just mine.
how can you relax in such an environment? how can your kids?

at the very LEAST you guys need marital counceling.
