Quote: Emily, this is a typical cycle of an abusive man. They hurt you, then come around to show you how sweet they are, how much they love you. And then when they get pissed again, they hurt you all over again and the cycle repeats.
Kevin needs help -- the kind you cannot give to him. You can love him and you can even want your marriage to work, but clearly this man needs some SERIOUS help before you can have a healthy relationship.

This is a cycle that cannot be broken by you. Until you detach from it and let him figure out what he needs. You have done your part. He needs help. I know it hurts because despite the damage he has done to you physically and mentally - you still care.
Right now the best thing you can do is urge him to go get help and to really just leave you alone right now.
