Edited 1/18/2006 7:13 pm ET by angels032003 I just deleted all of what I wrote because I dont trust my husband, especially when it comes to tracking stuff on the puter. He's done it before. I got reminded when I read one of the other messages. I do thank those of you who did respond to me. You all take care, n maybe I'll be back to talk to you later. hugs..

My goodness, you must be one tough woman to have endured 25 years of that! If you're tough enough to put up with his nonsense for all that time, then you're certainly tough enough to leave him and begin a happy, healthy life on your own.

Why on earth stay with him if you hate him? Such an unhappy abusive home is not good for any child, no matter what age they are, and it's not good for you.

You get one life. When it's over, you don't get a second chance. Make the most of the one you've got now, and discover who you are, what you're made of, and what you're capable of accomplishing. You can do it!

From one survivor to another (34 years), welcome. You found this place, and if you let them, you will make it, I am. I read two books by Patricia Evans, "The Verbally Abusive Relationship" and "Survivors Speak Out" in 1998. Once I gave it a name, domestic abuse, there was no turning back. I lasted another six years and was lucky to get out with my life. It is not easy but I truly believe I wouldn't have lived. Just know that after many years of trying to figure out what was wrong with me, this place is helping me pick up the pieces. After so many years of abuse I have no clue who I am but not giving up. Take care of yourself and know that you are not alone,

Luv, Sherry
