Passive Aggressive Behaviour - Real Mum story on MoM

7 Comments

Does anyone have to deal with passive aggressive behaviour in the family . It is subconscious form of the inability to cope with anger. This morning I lectured hub to speak out instead of ignoring the issues and giving me his crappy silent treatment and snide remarks . He stormed out and come softening up , don’t expect apologies either . He can’t help himself and I am too direct of course. His younger brother ( BIL ) is very serious . In fact I cant even toalk to him as he looks even scary . He talks loud and gives his wife the glare and constant blaming . She has given up and couldn’t care less because it is her problem and daughter has become one . We found out he was the most rejected and neglected in the family and his father is one who ignores his wife , but she is a caregiver due to her culture . Does anyone have stories to share and how they handled it . Thank you for allowing me to vent .

A counsellor can often help in these situations. There are many good books that may also be of assistance.

  Even seeing a counsellor individually may help, then as couple.

Perhaps a professional mediator or counsellor could help.

I believe passive-agressive behaviour is a form of abuse because he is not trying to improve anything and won’t listen. If you are scared you can call the police. You shouldn’t have to live like that.

Your home life sounds pretty tough – try to find support in close friends and family when you need it. Good luck! At least he is not like your BIL.

  yeah he is not his brother-in-law, you are correct. Hopefully seeing a counsellor will help to resolve some things.
