He has a bad temper and is all the time yelling at our daughter who has a form of autism instead of calmly asking her to do something. I know he loves her, but he just has a problem showing it. What do you do when your spouse needs help but refuses to get help. ?
I'd give him an ultimatum and follow through. Saving a child with mental disabilities from such horrors as her father is cascading upon her.
Your daughter shouldn't have to endure this. You are keeping her in this situation.
Let me tell you a little bit about the law. If your husband is verbally abusing her and the courts find him guilty, you are guilty as well by keeping her in the home in that situation.
Same as a parent is guilty by staying and allowing a husband to starve a child to death or beat them. Legally, it's reprehensible for you to allow him to continue and you could be found to be at fault as well.
I just dealt with a woman who didn't understand how she could be charged with child abuse because the police were called and charged both parents when they got there. Legally she had her daughter in harms way, therefore she was arrested as well. She could have lost her child over staying with an abusive man.
You say you know he loves her, yet i believe you just want to believe that. Somewhere you want to blind yourself to full truth so you don't have to see the major problem at hand. My grandmother lived her whole life this way. All her children resent her to this day for it. What do you do when your spouse needs help but refuses to get help. ?
You protect the mental and emotional well being of your child at all costs. If he has anger management issues and won't seek help then you collect your daughter and get her out of there. You owe her that much as her mother. Love is shown.
I think in most situations, the marriage is first. I think in situations where the mother feels she must protect her child from her husband, the mother should follow her instincts, take her child and go.
