It's scary to think about leaving... it's scary to be 'lost'.
It's confusing to know what to do that 'best for the family, yourself, & the kids'.
There has been research done that traditional MC actually does more damage to a M where there is abuse. I'm not surprised it's not working in your case & not because you've only gone 3x.
I'm sorry that you felt attacked by another poster on here.
Some people mean well, but don't really understand as you pointed out. Others just want to be right and throw their weight & "2x4"s around to make their point, as another poster pointed out. I can imagine, since you have lived with a person who did this on a regular basis, this may come across as more of the same ugly behaviour.
It's up to you to decide which category to place that post into & what you take away from it. I can understand how it would keep you from posting here for a while. I've heard that from several WAW or AWAW.
I hope you keep coming back for support from those you find supportive & understanding. I agree with breakaway, Bunny & Trent.. find the resources you need to make the moves you need, but recognize you can't control everything & trust that the world, universe, God, friends, family etc love you enough to help.
