My darling, your feelings are valid. Someone isn't absolved from their behaviour because you should control your reactions. Respect, courtesy and care aren't to be earned-they are basics. Attack at every interaction is not ok.
You should have support.

I've tried everything UKish and Frenchish, foodish, vitamins, whiskyish. It is now month 3, with a 2 week hiatus.
I'm eating well, resting, gentle exercising.
