I am too. You know, when you are going through the abuse, you feel like you are alone and it is hopeless. Once you start talking to other women, you find out that there is help and you can get out. I watched a movie on Lifetime last night, with my BF about leaving an abusive marriage. She knew I had that in my first marriage and had so many questions on why I stayed in my first marriage for 9 years and took the abuse.

She was really surprised to hear, it doesn't start right up front, that it is little by little and gets worse as time goes by and they will say and do anything to control you.

OMG.I feel bad for these women.I can understand why they stay with these men as they think that they can't live without them.The men that do this aren't real men and really need to get some help too.Ok that is enough of my 2 cents.

I was divorced in 94. I remarried now to my soul mate. My first marriage was dummed from the start. It took me 8 yrs to realize it. I left my husband with 3 children back then they were 2,3 and 6. I am so glad I did it. My kids grew up with a healthy life and I don't think they would be what they are today if I would have stayed.

Best of luck to anyone that is going thru or thinking of gettind divorced. It is never over if you have children. But time and patients help.

WendyMichelle,
I bet you did see alot.I have seen alot of my neighbors fight and one that got back togther again.Anyways I really do try to stay out of it.The only thing that would make me leave is if my dh hit me or did any other type of abusie to me.I am, not afraid to see my mind to him.
