I'm so sorry you had to go through something like that. I guess I'm fortunate. My wife and I are so in love with each other, issues like these are never a factor. I suppose there's good and bad everywhere. The 'trick' is avoiding the bad. You did what you had to do, and hopefully, you're better off because of it . . .

I was hoping you were going to dig a little deeper into that first sentence. Never
the less, I'm sorry those awful things happened to you. Most men that do such
things are very cowardly and wouldn't even think about emulating those acts of
violance toward other men.

A sad post PP. When I was younger and delivered goods to the door. Some women were quite bitter towards me at times. I learned by experience that the husband was at home and the wife was fearful of his jealous nature.

Re:
Thank you TAPS. Yes it is a worthy subject. They are finding that our children in their 20's and 30's are even more suspectable to the problem.

Re: Purple
Yes, the problem is that it leaves many with no choices. At least the Church now finds it a dealbreaker in a marriage.

Re:
Talking about it and doing something that works about it is a different story. Shelters are often places as dangerous as the home you have left. Maybe just here in the south. Addicts can just say they are in trouble and they have entry. Back when I was young and needed shelter, you were screened and in a room with your children that locked. I still pay honor to the folks that helped us.
Burgers Market used to be a chain around here. I would line my three little ones on the bench hoping he would not see they were there and go in and ask to work. He would let all four of us organize his fruits and vegies. Then he would give us all a bag to fill and $20 for our hour of work. Back then it would buy diapers and pay for our laundry mat change. I know God has blessed him for that.

Re:
I realize that I am in a dangerous situation. Desperate people do desperate things. And when I do leave, it will be the most dangerous time. I know God has a plan for me. I hope it is fun. Haha By the way send me some fairies too. All dressed in purple for healing and safety.

Re: Purple Purse
Thank you Wiley! Yes God and Faith are my rock right now. Police do not help. Shelters wont take disabled persons and there is no one to take the doggies. Not making excuses, as you see I am in my way finding a way out.
Also, a big thank you for taking good care of Kabu. One who will not repeat the cycle. I was right out of open heart surgery when I met Joe. We dated and I did as much due diligence as I could being so vulnerable. If I had not been so vulnerable at the time it probably would not had happened.
I spent about 18 years single, but not alone, I had my parents, family and children. I will be successful, I promise. At life that is, maybe not a marriage at my age and health. But heart warming message. No wonder Kabu found you worthy.

Pray for faith and wait for an answer from your higher power-God-Jesus-however your God is to you. You can get police help,(takes courage) (get psychological help)it is available~make up your mind to surviving alone for a couple of years and you will survive. As a man who lost his wife, I took 7 years of living alone before love (Kabu) and I managed to have a successful marriage. God Bless you.

It is a horrific existence. I am so glad that I was a rebellious person enough so that it did not totally destroy my self-esteem. I married a wonderful man the second time i knew what I was looking for that time. God bless you dear one.

It is so usual for an abused person to get into a second abusive marriage. One's self esteem is ruined, and yes one has been taught that it is too difficult on one's own. There are threats to deal with...you really are in a dangerous situation and I wish better for you.

There's a lot of evidence that it's a big problem...

Wonderful post on this very unwonderful subject. It is always surprisingly awful to find that couples/families that appear so wonderful in public places, even church, are hiding horrible things behind closed doors.
