I am very thankful of that as well...one thing my husband kept telling me is that he is a broken man...but he succeeded in breaking the cycle of abuse...
He was/is a wonderful father...he was and hopefully will be aain someday a wonderful husband...he has been hurt and damaged more then I had ever imagined...
Think for a moment about a 4 yr. old boy and 3 yr. old sister being forced to perform sexual acts with each other in front of others...how sick is that...then these others when on to molest his sister...this went on for about a year...then the father picked up where they left off...he and the grandfather, uncles, and cousins all molested his sister...sometimes in front of him...when he got his sister to tell their grandmother and great aunt...the only female family close to them they were shamed...told to never speak about such nasty things again...how could they even say those things about their father!!!...so the abuse continued in silence
I knew of some of this stuff...but not nearly all of it...it breaks my heart but at the same time helps me to understand the emotional turmoil and confusion that my H ended up in...I love him unconditionally...and I will for as long as I live!
