SC, you mentioned something that caught my eye: "I suppose I had a sliver of hope all that time". What does that mean (a sliver of hope)? What were/are you hoping for?
Well, I just kept swinging. I googled divorce & found this site. irony. lol I kept going to C & kept pushing for him to join me in MC. I just didn't quit. I wanted to, many many times. I quit for a few days, or for a week, but I didn't quit completely. If we didn't have kids I would have walked a long time ago. Growing up without a dad, I just couldn't take them away from theirs. Even though he wasn't the kind of dad I wished.
He is now.
M 19 years, MC for 8 months, DB'd for 8 months 4 kids; 18, 15, 14, & 10 I was never meant to be a doormat. It took me years of therapy to become assertive enough to stop his abuse.
