Getting My Feet (Board) Wet |
Hi Everyone,
I have left an 18 year abusive relationship and my ex refuses to give me a divorce,I have been trying to divorce him since May 2003.The affects of living with him has left me with PTSD and I am having counselling for that.Lately he has began to harrass me and make his presence known,I am trying to move on with my future.I am taking him to Court in the next couple of weeks but feel afraid to see him but I have to. To vent his anger out on me he used physical,verbal and sexual abuse for the duration of the whole marriage,he was yelling at me the day after we got married.He told me he dumped his last girlfriend because she wouldn't let him abuse her body,I think this is a terrible attitude towards women.I am very concerned as we have a 13 year old daughter and he vents his anger on her by intimidation and orders,he is very controlling.In his world people are not allowed any feelings but should take his constant barage of abuse display no emtional reactions.My personal opinion of him is he is evil and needs to be stopped before he does anyone anymore damage.The only reason I tolerated him is because I had an abusive childhood too and was used to being treated like garbage,he just carried it on. Thanks For Reading, Geri |

Best wishes and kindest regards, Mark |

geriberi-faries,
Sorry to hear about all your years experiences with abuse. It is perfectly understandable why you feel scared... because you have been feeling scared for so long it is becomimg a familiar feeling that is recognizable, but very wrong. (as you know because you left)You are doing the right thing and getting out! You must avoid him at all cost right now so that you don't let him intimidate you. There is absolutely no excuse for him to treat you or anybody that way. Hang in there. When court time comes hopefully you will be a little stronger. I hope you feel better soon. |

Thanks for the replies the reason I stood it for so long is I was abused in the same way as a child and I wasnt aware it was abusive,I thought it was love.
