If you read what you wrote yesterday "the day after" it shows you have been abused - FOR YEARS!! You are BLAMING you for the fact that he hit you - beat you.
Your words " i shouldn't have..." "I knew better.."
Yes you are right - you should have stayed away etc. BUT KNOWONE DESERVES TO BE BEAT KNOWONE!!
I watched abuse ok - it messed me up. My dad didn't "beat my mom all the time either..." BUT HE DID!! You said it maybe 10 times in 24 years....1 time is too much!!
WHAT WOULD YOU DO FOR YOUR DAUGHTER IF THIS HAPPENED???
Think about HER and your Neice! What are you showing them?!! If you can't get him out of your life for YOU then do it for them.....
