I have been married for 14 yrs. My husband is the a-typical attention seeker - guilty of all topics mentioned here. we have two girls, our own homeand all the normal problems that go with finances, a bond, a car and etc. I am at my wits end with this. Energy drained each night. have had suicide threatsl 'I will kill you' threats and a rib or two broken. have to boost ego every waking moment, handle the constant drinking and also had to give up my chosen career. I am so far gone that I have become an attention seeker myself!do not know if this is what was meant by 'introduce yourself' but this is me. help!? had as much as I can take. Cannot talk to him as he swops the subject over to himself - every day! please help. it is late and I have just managed to get him inside the house, not into bed though, but at least inside!everything gets blown out of proportion into a blatant lie, from a sore toe to etc. I cannot say anything to correct for fear of retribution from him! I am not an angel myself, but have just so much energy whivh my girls need more. how do I help him? have been to psychologists and and and!'

I think you need to get yourself and your daughters out form under him for the time being. Go to your parents or his parents house. Let him sober up and realize that he is in danger of losing all that he has. I hope that will help him realize that he has a problem and will seek to get it worked out. HE has some issues to get resolved and harming you or his kids is not going to make them go away.
