But I feel that what he did tonight was not right. He told our daughter that he would break her jaw. Because she yelled at him to not treat me the way he way he was.
She had to watch him freak out and hit himself in the face repeatedly. How difficult is that for a daughter to witness, and to hear, no matter what age?
Then he comes back and says he's sorry to her.
I'm so upset right now.
TW,
That is extreme behavior, and you are right to be concerned. Physically and verbally isolating are potential signs of backsliding. But threatening your daughter, losing his temper, and hitting himself are way out of line. As important as supporting his sobriety is, your safety is more important.
Does your husband have a psychiatrist or other mental health professional that he is working with? This is not behavior that warrants a "wait and see" approach in my opinion.
