Solidstars. I know this is a place for all of us to rant, but are there positive sides to your relationship with your husband? (Sometimes, blogs let us bring out all the negative and play down the positive).
If it's a loving relationship with some cultural / manner-type problems, it sounds like it can be fixed.
If there's no love there, what are your options for moving out? Are you financially independent? Do you have family to rely on?
I've been following your story for a while. If there is a pattern of verbal abuse -- like him shouting at you to "shut up" in front of his family -- it may teach aggressive or abusive behavior in the child. If irrational parenting practices prevail, it may hurt the child in the long run, despite his or his family's best intentions.
I'm not advocating breaking up your marriage -- I'm just wondering how bad it is, and whether there is a solution.
