How do I stop my husband from yelling at me in front of my kids?
Put your hand up as if it were a stop sign in front of him, usher your children out of the room immediately and explain very clearly to him that the children should not have to be a part of this verbal abuse.Before he continues or even if he does continue, say out loud very clearly, "come to think of it, I don't want to be a part of your verbal abuse".Make a plan right now for a safe place and a quick exit. Be prepared to take the children and immediately leave making sure you have a cell phone. Take the car if you have one. Take the children somewhere calming for all of you and if they ask, explain. "Daddy needs to calm down because I'm having a hard time understanding him" and than change the subject to something more happy for all of you. You must remain calm for them. You must not cry or discuss it. They are children and can not guide you or help you. YOU must protect them and be strong for them.If he follows you and is enraged, call the police.If he comes to you calmly ask him if he's going to be rational. I suggest taking him out of ear shot of the children and very clearly and calmly tell him you refuse to allow him to continue the verbal abuse.If he can't be a rational adult, you have to make some serious choices. Verbal abuse can have very damading effects especially on children who don't understand what's happening. Your husband, in the least needs communication classes. If its been an ongoing thing, you need marriage counseling. If he refuses, you will have to leave and remove the children from that toxic environment. You should seek professional help as well. You are asking how to stop him from yelling at you in front of the children. You need to know he shouldn't be yelling at you period.Verbal abuse many times turns into physical abuse. Google how many people are murdered by domestic violence. Do not continue to be his victim. Either he do something immediately to learn how to communicate like a rational human being or you get away from him. There are many shelters and domestic violence resources to help you remove yourself and your children safely from him. It will only get worse if you don't take huge steps immediately.May you find the help you need.
