Decorators, please?

Tuesday, June 8th, 2010 at 8:08 pm

I have recently moved into a home which is outdated with old gold wall paper and just ugliness. The entire house has a "rustic" feel to it, as there is real wood panneling (not shiny) that is very dark throughout. Its a good sized home at 3500 feet or more. I would like to know how to paint and what colors and what to decorate with in this house. Specifically the dining room, which oddly enough is the entry room from the front door. There isn't a lot of wall space, as its mostly in the dark horizontal wood. I have a few pieces of wrought iron wall decorations that are black, but I have considered painting. The floor in the dining room is hard wood. The trim in the room is dark wood, just plain boards. Any thoughts? I'm sort of stuck here.
I think I should be more specific, I want to paint the parts of the walls that are not covered in wood...there are not many, but for example in my dining room, there is one large wall which frames a door, and is horizontal wood pannels. But the other three walls are plaster, covered in ugly wall paper. I just want to paint those walls and keep the wood as is, only cleaned up a bit. But what color? That's my question.

How far should an abusive relationship go?

I have a husband whom I love very much. He and I were together many years before he decided to join the military for personal reasons. He was kicked out after roughly 1 year because of a mental disability bordering on psychosis.

That entire year, plus every year since, he has been dealing with the mental agony of service, and then afterwards, the inability to cope with life in general.

He has been acting out in desperation. He gets mad and breaks stuff -breaks dishes, punches walls, etc. Yesterday he threw a box at me and hit me with an ironing board while I was holding our son of 10 months.

He is sick. He is very, very ill. Today he saw his first doctor to get him into treatment. We haven't had insurance before and just got him in to see someone. I can't very well live like this but if he's willing to get help, should I be patient? I promised to stand by his side through "sickness and health," and this is a bad time.

I realize this is abusive every time I feel the bruises hurt. I have 3 new ones since yesterday. However, ripping our son away from his dad is wrong and leaving him when he needs me is wrong too. I am not blameless here; if I didn't antagonize him he wouldn't get to that point - but sometimes having him do his homework and go to school is dreadfully important to me.

What would you do? I think I'm doing the right thing by giving him the opportunity to see a doctor before I leave. I don't want things to end. We're in our 9th year of marriage and our son loves his father.

Please help (and please don't criticize me. I have enough going on).
teacher, that's what happened today, though he is not committed.
