Hi, my name is Julia F. and lately my husband Jack has been acting very different around me. Jack is acting like he is the only parent with power in the house. Jack and I have three children together; they are Amanda the baby, Eric who is eight, and Nicole who is a rebellious twelve year-old. Jack has started to think that he runs the household all by his lonesome and I just sleep here. I do not get very much time to spend with my children since I work the majority of the day.

That was when I just lost it and asked Jack ‘Why do you always fucking interfere?’ and ‘What is your fucking problem?’ (19).
