huband laughed at me??!! :(

Not sure where to post just really hurt. My son needed help on a redo math test and I forgot how to do long division so I texted my husband. He called and asked what was wrong and I told him, almost in tears at this point cause my self worth has always been shatty, I could hear his men in the background, he's military, and he laughed at me. I always put myself down about how dumb Iam and this just drove it home. I'm 29 how can I got back to college if I can't do simple math? And its obvious I won't have help at home. I'm a mess. I just wanted help not to be laughed at. Wonder why I think so lowly of myself huh

All I really wanted was an apology from him. Never got one. It was a quiet skewed silence all night. How am I at fault that he hurt my feelings? I'm bipolar and pregnant. Not on meds because of baby so you can imagine how Iam most days. Horrible. He has ptsd and I'm always very supportive of him with his irrational fears and concerns. This morning he was late for formation(army) and got angry with me because he over slept?? I got up at 530 am with my other two and got them ready for school how is this my fault??? Went to bed crying woke up crying and am still in tears. It may be silly I was offended by him laughing but I would never knowingly hurt him and not say sorry. Just a mess this morning. Looking like a long hard day emotionaly.....

I suck at math, any kind and any thing that has to do with math. When my son has to do math homework, I'll be sending him to his father. And my husband always laughs at me when I can't do simple math, so don't feel bad.

I just now posted a couple of my sons math problems on Facebook asking for help because I am completely incapable of doing fifth grade math.  I struggled quite a bit through college because I'm so mathematically handicapped but I did it and you will too. I absolutely promise you that a year or two after you finish all that will matter is that you did it and it will be an even bigger accomplishment because math is such a struggle for you. Stay strong girl and just keep working towards your goal.

That's your problem you're just scared of math and its ok I think ppl that hate math is just scared. I had great professors that helped me overcome the fear of math.

I completed precalc in highschool and started algebra when I was in college. In 01' now I'm terrified to even take a placement test. I just can't belive him!! I never make him cry!  He knows im extra sensitive cause I'm preggo and didn't even apologize when I told him hurt me? Wow hope he needs help with his ptsd one day he can look else where

Don't feel bad. I am 24 in college haven't done math since 06 and I am horrible at math. I personally think its a waste if your studies aren't math based.
