Thank you.. no, I really don't. Some people just don't get it. I'm grateful for all the insightful people I meet here in blogit.

Thanks Pat, I take that as a compliment:) Yes, I have tried many times to get him to see a doctor, and it falls on deaf ears. I have to think of my health and wellbeing.

Now that I've read your blogs... oh, my.
I second Bhaskar's comment about the butterfly pinned to the board. Perfect metaphor. Is it possible your man's bully behavior might stem from some kind of chemical imbalance, some age-related shifting of his inner gears? Higher blood pressure, etc.? It would be so nice if he could just find a good pill...

Thank you for your comments, and the sympathy. Sometimes the butterfly is a little noisier these days..!

Thank you... I try to. He just doesn't want to let go, and doesn't believe I have any
good reason to go. I've spent so many years working around everyone else's needs, that it managed to stop me in my tracks this time too. He has been very extreme, worse as he gets older, and worse since I said I wanted to separate. I wasn't even talking about divorve immediately. I am now. I am supposed to behave, at all times, in ways that won't set him off. Or, we part and
he will never see me again. I say, fine (I didn't at first), and the next minute he says he isn't giving up because it's too important to him. And, by the way, it's all my fault. Sigh. But thank you for your encouragement.

i could feel a sense of sympathy for you as I read this, but glad that now you're resolved in a most mature way. I loved your "I am a butterfly, pinned to a board. I can flutter my wings, but not fly away". So picturesque.
