I've been married to a verbally abusive husband for 26 years. I ask myself all the time why stay?? It's because I'm afraid to leave. I have medical issues that make it hard for me to work.
I've suffered from depression most of my adult life...I was on anti depressants but I didn't like the way they made me feel so quit taking them. My adult life has been hard.
How does one set boundaries when it happens so fast?!
This morning:
N-Did (a persons name) say that she wanted to go out to dinner this time next year and she would pay for it?
Her name was Martha. She and her family lived next door to us when I was a young child. She raised ducks, chickens and planted a huge vegetable garden every year.
I live w/ a unhappy verbally abusive man. No matter what I do it's wrong. Anytime anything is missing even if small like a empty sunflower seed bag or a empty pill bottle that he was saving.
My mother every now and then fights with me. whatever I say trusting her; she goes out immediately in the family and starts fighting with me and insulting. I don't want to live with her.

I still feel guilty for wishing the gun would hit on a loaded chamber when he put it up to his head and screamed to our 14 year old daughter begging him to stop, "this is all your mom's fault."
After nearly 10 years of marriage, my wife told me she had an abortion when she was 16. We have a 4 year old. We were together at 18 and married two years later.
I miss my dad but I dont miss the sexual abuse. I woke up to him raping me a few weeks ago, of course there are other instances in the past such as inappropriate back rubs and sexual comments.
im scared of not getting over him even though it was an abusive and unhealthy relationship. there were many good times, and much more bad times, so why do i only focus on the good?
