I'm new here but have a question......
| Thu, 09-22-2005 - 11:32am |
I just started coming here hoping to find some answers. I have come to realize that I am in an emotional abusive marriage. My husband and I have been married for 11 years and we have a 9 year old daughter. The past 1 ½ - 2 years have been the worst. Maybe because I started trying to stand up for myself. In the very beginning of the 1 ½ - 2 years I thought emotional abuse was a name that I made up, something to call what was happening to me. I had NO idea that it was a very real thing, not to mention that there were other women like me suffering from it. I have just resently realized that I am a human that deserves more respect, however 11 years is a lot to walk away from. My question to all of you is,
is it possible to stay married in this situation providing that I (because he doesn’t see that there is a problem) get the right professional help (counselor, therapist)? Would the marriage work or is this all in my mind and I have to learn to deal with it?

First of all, NO you don't have to deal with it.
