i was one of those who couldnt understand why women put up with men in abusive relationships so here i was doing it.i began to make excuses why there always seem to be more bad days than good and started blaming myself more and more for it.i finally decided to leave and filed for divorce and that really let me see the light.being called all kinds of names was just for starters.pretty soon it was screaming,smashing things and being spit on,hit,threatened with being killed or having to see that person commit suicide.i didnt want the police involved because i didnt want anyone to know my business and i cared still because i knew physically he was ill and hurting due to health reasons but finally a friend stepped in and called someone.i finally have him moved out of the house and thank god i made the decision even though i was beginning to wonder if mentally and physically i was going to survive.i regret with all my heart now that i didnt have the open mindedness that i do now that makes me understand why women put up with this kind of abuse for so long and make excuses. i understand now...sincerely one of you.
