Yes I read all the posts and I don't find them a waste at all. I find them helpful. I probably should have run my venting the other day and asked your opinions about reporting it to the police. I'm sure you would have advised me not to.

When my W slapped my son, it was once in the face, not continous. It was wrong, it happened, but I don't think she will do that again. I get cussed at and yelled at but for whatever reason, she sees nothing wrong with that. Maybe she does it because she is worn out, exhausted, worried or a host of other reasons, but by treating me that way, how does that help the situation.
