Nithyanandam,
Still remember one incident when I newly moved to US. My parents also were there visiting for the 1st time. Only for 1 week or 10 days they were visiting. I was shocked Doug was already controlling and feeling insecure when one young boy (younger than my brother - one thing I could remember he was like my younger brother) in my parents presence. Doug made big big issue out of nothing for 2 minutes conversation I had with that boy. God...I was shocked. Even my parents were shocked. My mom and dad witnessed these 'lovely' scene. At home I was raised, with so much trust and space to live my life.
He did the same thing in my marriage with him. When ever I have friends he will count the spoons and forks. He will come and tell me that all these people are thieves. Many times he said my friends are thieves. I use to feel so sad. He will say things like they must have stolen some spoons and forks. These people are wealthy and have good job and stable family. Actually those utensils are only Walmart bought, can guarantee didn't cost us more than $5. Not even the material but the attitude that counts.
