I have been divorced for 7 years now. My ex-wife was also verbally and mentally abusive. Even after all this time and all the abuse I endured there are still times that I love her. It is difficult I know. It must be even harder having been together so long. I am sorry that you are suffering. It does get better though. Everything does with time. ⏳🌸 That doesn't make this moment any less painful but at least you know there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Knowing that has helped me a lot during difficult times. If he is abusive you should avoid him. No one deserves to be treated that way. Unfortunately if you have kids together you always be connected. It is more binding than marriage. My ex-wife and I need to co-parent our daughter. But I set boundaries to make sure that she can not hurt me or our daughter. I wish you the best of luck and hope you feel better soon. 💛

Hi there I don't have a husband but what I can say is my dad was nasty like that broke me down to nothing constantly belittled me and made me feel like mentally I wasn't good enough you stay strong hun not having him around will be the best thing my mum didn't have the courage to leave him back then I went through this to the point I didn't think I deserved love Your husband left and will hurt I'm sure 25 years of marriage is a long time and you will go through so many of emotions I think you all deserve better and in time you will work through these awful times I'm 40 soon and still struggle your wellbeing is the most important part nothing worse than spoken to like you don't matter Everything will hit you at once cry let it out you will find release from it and the strength to build you and your wonderful kids back up it doesn't matter if days , weeks ,months or years no one deserves that when my mum finally had the courage to divorce my dad and leave I as a person partied in my head I was relaxed calmer knew I didn't have to walk around afraid of what was going to be said to me I couldn't wait to be free from him and his cruel mouth the anxiety melted away I could breathe my mum could find her voice again darling trust me when I say this you will all be better off sending hugs to you all the hurt comes just let it all out I'm stuck in the bitter stage I don't wish my dad any ill but I hope he feels the hurt one day to realise how we felt your kids and you matter the most I don't talk about my life that much but reading your post I wanted to reach out I felt my calling this morning not managing to sleep I came on here so glad I did I was meant to be there .
