The Death Stare is the look in his eyes when you can see straight into his dark soul. I don’t remember when he started doing it to me, but I remember seeing it whenever I was about to say or do something that would give a glimpse of his true nature to others. The Death Stare was a familiar look during our marriage and during the divorce, even when we were in court. He knew precisely when to give it to me so the lawyers and judge could not see. It sent a chill down my spine every time, and I learned to keep my eyes focused on the floor, only looking up when the judge addressed me directly.
The most disturbing and devastating thing about the Death Stare is hearing the children talk about it. They, too, were on the receiving end of this chilling look, and they are the ones who gave it a name.
That is exactly how my husband looks at me sometimes. Just a blank stare ready to attack. My husband is the only person I have ever experienced this with. It scares me when he looks at me this way. I always see hate is his eyes.

I understand the fear. The look is something I no longer endure from my ex-husband, but I still see it sometimes in my dreams/nightmares.

I suspect it’s difficult to work with this person – and a little scary too.
