Sandi,

You are right about abusers, considering I too was an abuser. I verbally and physically abused the mother of my children. I totally regret what I did. I never really realized that I had very poor self-esteem. That I had my own issues do deal with rather than take it out on her. I do have to thank her for filing for divorce...because of that action....I would have never went to my journey of discovery regarding my actions....

I didn't read much of her post....but I would highly suggest you follow Sandi2 advise.
