Is this the end? - Page 3

I'm so glad for you. I can't imagine how you stayed in a situation where your clothes were chosen out for you and you were criticized and mocked in public.
If a man did that to his wife, he would be labeled a domineering control freak.
You say you came from an abusive childhood. Have you considered perhaps that you got into a marriage that replicated patterns of abuse?
Best of luck to your future.

Please consider seeing a lawyer ASAP. You do have the right to either move out yourself or have her leave. The lawyer can help with what rights you have in that country. This is not the time to be passive.
Also, she may have to get a job in THAT country. Leaving you now does not mean she can automatically take your child back to the US. As a parent, you have some rights you need to make yourself aware of (again, this is why you NEED to consult a lawyer). You need to work something out with the best interest of your child and your relationship with your child in mind.

Also, I would highly suggest implementing the "180". NOT as a method to get back at your wife, but as a method to take your own power back. I am looking for that link for you...here it is:

(the intro makes it sound like its only to get your spouse interested in you again, but it helps you move on with or without them and find your strength)

I am sorry for what you are going through. Wishing you peace and strength.
