[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 959421, member: 30007"] Hi [USER=88720]@andreaabbott1[/USER] , your last post made a couple of points that reminded me of a friend of ours. She spent 10 years in an abusive relationship with a type 1 diabetic. He wasn't physically abusive towards her, however he used to deliberately manage himself into hypos in unpleasant situations and overnight to keep her on the edge, stop her getting sleep and most importantly control exactly what she did and how she did it. Your situation rings similar bells to hers. I have no idea what your husband was like beforehand, but it seems as though he is using a lot of the same types of technique as a control mechanism on both you and your kids. This is a very unpleasant form of psychological abuse because many times, it is only with the benefit of hindsight that you realise that it has been going on. I would strongly advise you to talk to both your GP and maybe somebody else about what you are experiencing. [/QUOTE]
