What do I do when my husband accuses me of being self - centered and selfish over voicing my stress on a nasty custody battle with his ex .?

He thinks I should focus exclusively on being there for him and his daughter and that this is not about me .

I have been there in every way I could but it gets to me .

The instability and fear is too much to handle .

    What he is trying to say is...babe I'm really going through a rough time right now and it would be great if you could be supportive

    That means...the stress you feel? Does not compare to the stress he feels...he is the one going through a custody battle....not you.

    Maybe because youre trying to make the situation about you needs and desires and want him to focus more attention on you rather than the custody battle.

    There is absolutely nothing wrong with being self centered

    You need to understand that he is under way more stess than you. His ex is trying to mess up his relationship with his child. He feels like you should be able to handle your stress because you really aren't in the middle of the mess.

    If you can't live with the situation then you can't live with him. You must have know about all this before you married him. Try being strong for him, this will pass and he will remember your strength.
