Hi! I just skimmed through it. Sounds like you have it rough.

 

[Buzzer Beater]

greenirene- I am a volunteer at women's shelter, and it sounds to me like you need some help, not just a friend. Are you safe at the moment? And your children? Do you have a plan for if things get rougher? I know things are stressful and tight for a lot of people these days. Hugs, mama, think of your kids first. I wish I could help you. Is there a hotline in your area? They may be able to help you find some courage and resources you didn't know about.

ps- I read your whole post... I can relate in many ways to much of what you are going through.

Thanks, I am pre-registered with a domestic violence shelter here. The neighbors know I'm afraid and i can go to them if I need to. He is in domestic violence counseling now. He's stopped drinking entirely for now (just makes him a dry drunk - not too nice). I still don't want to be with him even if he recovers. Too much yucky history. I was a different person when we married and so was he.

Thanks sooooo much for words of hope.

I'll be your friend- I am sorry you are going through this

Does your shelter offer group therapy? You need to take care of yourself.

Momma, this is a great place to find friends and encouragment. Your family is on my prayer list.

Welcome to MDC. You've been in a tough situation for a very long time and from everything you said, you need to get out away from your husband and you know it. There are supports and helps available to you, here on MDC and in your community. It sounds like you have some support from a couple of loved ones.

Unfortunately, the Surviving Abuse forum here on MDC requires 500 posts and membership for a period of time so that won't be accessible to you for awhile and I'm sorry.

You've already found people who can love you for the real you, the complete you with whatever decisions you've made in the past. We all are at a certain point in our process living this life and we can accept you for where you are and encourage each other to be better.

Many hugs, mama! Your story has touched me - it is almost exactly what my mom has been going through with my dad for years and years - I'll pray for your strength in getting the help and attention that you so deserve - I'm so sorry that you've had to go through all of this.

You are a wonderful person, and deserve so much better - the most simple things in life are love and safety from another person, and what you have been deprived of from your husband is a terrible loss.

Please, please keep yourself safe. Your voice is heard here, and you will never be manipulated here like you have been before. Stay strong, mama!
