mad I’m not getting sleep

Thank you to everyone who has replied. I must say I’m quite shocked. I honestly thought I was more in the wrong and being too moody being sleep deprived. It is also eye opening how many individuals find this behavior that atrocious. I had a feeling it was off but I’m just trying to get through the motions lately. It being abusive or narcissistic didn’t even cross my mind. Love is strange and it makes it harder to see what’s going on. I’m a full time student on top of everything so my focus has just been on making sure kids are okay and my work is done. I cried so long by myself last night and was so scared that it’s really had an impact on me. Something felt so off when I apologized to him and my SD. Which is why I made this post. Thank you to everyone who has pointed out what is wrong in this situation. I was too deep in it to see what was going on. I do love him and have a child with him. I don’t have family or friends near to go to for awhile. But I’m ready to put up a fight and not put up with such treatment. It never dawned on me he tends to the other kids but not our daughter. I guess that was just pure denial on my end as to why I wasn’t seeing that. I’m considering all my options and what we can do as a family. I love his kids and they call me mom. I want this to work but it won’t at such expenses. Thank you for all of your input. I will definitely be taking some time and reflecting on what is going on here and what I need to do to make sure this treatment ends now. It is difficult because when things are good they’re great. I’m starting treatment for the depression and will seek professional help regarding our family especially our marriage. I will still continue to read the replies to this post and reach out to loved ones for a support system.
