Hostility.

Anger.

Immature behavior.

Yelling.

Telling anyone who would listen he great he was & how bad I was.

Ummm... lots of abusive fights. In front of our kids. On both of our parts.

All of that anger, tied up with a big bow of confusion.

Not the gift I felt I deserved for being such a good wife.

ha.

I don't condone the way he treated me. I don't think any of it was okay. But I sure understand why he did it.

At least now I do.

And I will never do that to any man again. Any one, really.

Hard lessons learned.


You know...I think I'll post an entry from my thread in newcomers when I was over there. It was one of my first light bulb moments. Little did I know that the lightbulb moments would soon come to look like a strobe light going off in my head. lol

I'll put it in my thread. Link in my siggie.
