He has hit me or pushed me maybe a total of 10 times in 24 years. I am not justifying or making exuses for him.


yes you are. you are taking ownership of what happened

But if my H and I get D and he stays with her, she does win. She set out to break up our M, our F, and take my H for her own and that is what is happening. SHE will get to grow old with him, SHE will get to laugh with him, SHE will get to cry with him, SHE will get to share in his future, SHE will get to spend the rest of her days with him. NOt ME.

uhmmm she gets the abuse too....it wont end w/you.
