wanting out
| Sun, 11-18-2007 - 11:14pm |
Hi, I'm a 25 yr old wife, and mom of 2 kids...ages 6 (DD) and 17 months (DS). I've been married for 4 yrs but with my H for 7 yrs. This is also my 2nd marriage. My H has hit, choked me, called me every name in the book...just has gotten me to thinking that all men hit their wives, and treat them badly. BTW, I was also physically abused from age 3-10, and sexually abused from 6-10 by my former stepdad. My H used to make me cry alot when he would call me names, or lay a hand on me.....but now..I feel like I have no tears left. Now, I'm just constantly thinking of being single..to get to know who I am again, as a person, as a mom. I stay because I never knew my dad growing up, and I want the kids around their dad. If I ever left him, he would freak, get depressed, maybe do something bad.......he always jokes about it, but because I know him...I know there's some truth in it somewhere. He stays in the bedroom on

Welcome to the board Melissa,
You NEED to get out of this marriage as soon as possible. He is physically abusing you. What is to stop him from doing that to your children? He is pointed a gun at you for crying out loud. Get away NOW.
Do you really want your children thinking it is okay to treat women this way and that this is how you deserve to be treated?
Can't you leave him and stay with your family?
You should also look into counseling for all the abuse you have through. I am truely sorry you have had to go face all this.
