This abusive marriage needs to end...
Ive been with my verbally and emotionally abusive husband for 20 years. Married 15. I've been through a lot of hurt, pain, and sacrifice. We have two teens at home, 17 and 15. My mind is. I love him, but I don't respect him much because of how he treats us and just how he deals with things on a whole. I want to leave but have been scared of the unknown. Meantime, I've been reading on abusiverelationships, divorce, building my faith and strength, etc. I just haven't gotten the strength or guts to end it and leave. He's co dependant. I am a bit too, but I'm trying to break out of it. I realize I must have convince myself that me and the kids will be OK if we left, we have people to support us, and he's gonna be OK too. I have rid ,myself of any blame I may place on myself for any bad things that may happen. I know I'm doing it for a good cause.
