Hey Pandas, Do You Think He Was Joking?

My husband kicked me out of the house, and when I made a fuss about it, he told everyone that he was just joking. I didn't find it funny at all. I even had a panic attack, to which he responded by saying, 'She’s mental, admit her to the mental hospital.' This lack of empathy has left me feeling devastated and paranoid. I don't know how to react anymore, what to do, or whom to talk to.

Hey, I feel like that even if this IS a joke with joking intentions, it’s not okay. Kicking someone out of the house isn’t a good joke, and depending on how he phrased it, might not even be one. Further saying “she’s mental, admit her to the mental hospital” is terrible, and as a person who has struggled and still struggles with mental health, that’s definitely a red flag. If he’s just saying so, he’s being hurtful, extreme, and very uneducated. If he actually means it and thinks you need help, that’s an awful and again, uneducated way to approach that subject.

You have every right to feel devastated and paranoid, and I would recommend telling a few close family/friends in case he tries this again. Also pack an emergency bag with essentials like clothes and a toothbrush etc. In case you need to stay with a friend or family member.

Stay strong and you will come through this

A few issues here.
Firstly; It's a little concerning that this post is your only activity (as far as I can tell). If you created an account just to ask this, you should really mention it.

Then there is the question of why were you "Kicked out of the house"? That term is usually reserved for meaning "pack your s**t, get TF out, and don't come back". There ain't no joking in that. Did you mean 'locked out'? because that is something someone might do if they thought it was funny (It's not, but some people have a stupid sense of humour).

If this is a real question, it shouldn't need asking or answering. It's like asking 'AITA for murdering my whole family because they farted'

Nope, he’s cruel and toxic and you need to leave him. He’s not taking responsibility for his actions that hurt your feelings, he’s dismissing your feelings, he’s gaslighting you into thinking you’re crazy. That’s not normal, that’s not how someone who truly loves you will act. He will not fix himself as long as you still stay with him and he can keep getting away with this behavior. Leave him, please stop hurting yourself more by staying with him.
