There are forums here on infidelity, depression, MLC. Abusive marriages does not deserve its place here?
This would have been helpful to me. Someghing, anywhere on this board to say sometimes DR is not enough and you're in over your head. What I have been stubborn? Perhaps. There is also a good possibility that I might have considered that abuse was a factor in my relationship. That DB does not Cure all. I may have been able to talk to a different kind of veteran who understood, and I may have sought help and called the thing by the right name earlier.
I daresay that Michelle wiener Davis would not advocate for someone DBing themselves back in an abusive situation as part of her process.
Maybe there is a bat signal you can send out to her.
