Spousal abuse

This whole thread makes me very sad.

Yes. I am a moron for putting up with it, still loving him and for God's sake, I protected him and never pressed charges even when the police had him in public after smacking me down.

He's a good man in so many ways and he took his anger out on me. Great father, etc...

I was a punching bag.

He's also a good "ol local boy and he knew he had me.

He apologized each time and I chose to believe him. We had a nice life...BUT

I finally got out of it, but I needed help.

To this day he refuses to get counseling but admits he has a major anger problem. Xanax has helped to an extent. His doctor prescribes it for "anxiety".

If you know anybody in this situation, please help them.

TMI, but it might help somebody or get somebody to help a person in this situation.

So when he drew first blood why the F didn't you leave, that what most people will never understand. And it affects the kids for the rest of thier lives too whether they show it or not.

He had me in complete control. I was a housewife with children who was a prior working gal with children. The former was preferable because he was able to work more (self-employed) Work included many golf outings and chit chatting with clients after hours.

Adopt me please !
If you treated me bad? .... You wouldn't want ME to butter your toast for you, believe me ..... :whistle:

Girl don't make me, some people call me "Big Ike" I have been known to slap a hoe for not buttering my bread right, not saying you a hoe so don't take it personal beetch :killingme It's really just crazy how women put up with it, insecurity, they want to be loved and feel that is the best they can do. Surley a phsycological thing with women who take this sheit. Someone mentioned at one point in time the man has to go to sleep, that abused spouse just might make sure he never wakes up again. Some women are just phsycologicly weak minded, very beautiful or ugly and they still will put with it. Ark you be good the rest of the day or else.

My husband is white - I'm being sarcastic. He also had children with me,not someone else,unlike yours. :buddies: And by saying that is all that would have me,you are saying that a black man isn't as good as a white one,I presume? Meh,no point debating,you are behind the keyboard,so you'll keep going - the only thing that stops women like you is being face to face,then you don't have much to say. :bigwhoop: I'm not going to be nasty,it's the holidays,so have a good one, I hope you got a lot of Nascar memorabilia for Christmas,and that you were able to get your sheets nice and white for the upcoming new year rallies and such. :love: Make sure you tell that daughter of yours (do you call her yours since your husband had her with another woman?) best wishes on her surely impending teen pregnancy and trailer. Oh,I saw your other post about how you gave blowjobs for Christmas. Glad to see you are working again.

You obviously don't know a thing about Domestic Violence either. Do some extensive reading on the subject, then come back on and bad mouth the women evolved.

I did not bad mouth anyone, I asked questions, I wanted to hear from a person that went through, she put it out there not me. We share thoughts and learn things here if you would pay attention, I don't need need to read a dam book dummy. Are you one of those weak minded people, if so sorry. If its a weak minded issue that some women have well then it is what it is, why should I sugar coat it, but thanks for your opinion anyway :smoochy: happy new year

I would venture to guess somewhere near Budd's Creek. Or you could try that trailer park on Hermanville. Just remember,ROLL YOUR PENNIES. No loose change. Let's keep it classy.

Wenchy has a very valid point. Everyone on here,and in life has character flaws and weaknesses. And a lot of times,these things start in childhood. My daughters have friends who I can look at their home situation and think wow,they are in for a tough road as they grow up. You guys jump on her as if she did something wrong by tolerating abuse-she did something not in good judgement,but not necessarily wrong-she did what she could at the time. Good for you Wenchy for leaving,but every woman on here who has been married and has children,and has been in a position where they hadn't worked in years,maybe had no education,knows that you might get angry and self righteous that you SHOULD leave,but you can't always just go on the spot. Not everyone has family or friends to help them and a bad home is better than none at all,especially if you could wind up penniless and homeless with children. I'm not saying to take it,just that I can see how some people have low self worth so ingrained,and feel so trapped they put up with way too much b.s.

ANNE - I am not sure where you grew up or who you listened to, but EVERYONE I have ever listened to tells the woman to GET OUT of an abusive relationship and don't look back. Everyone has 100 or 200 dollars in a bank they can withdraw for a hotel for a couple of days until they can find somewhere to help them out.

Better to live in a hotel for a couple of days and make a couple of phone calls to local agencies than to wind up dead from being beaten.

It sure would be nice if EVERYONE lived in your world.

It certainly can be done. Also, there are shelters for women.

Locally:

Community/Shelters - Southern Maryland Online

My ex was /is a very prominent person in the community he lives in. This tormented me because if I sought public help or ever pressed charges he would lose his livelihood. I learned instead to maintain the status quo and to never do anything that could ignite his fire (it would still ignite on occasion, but I pretty much became a very quiet partner) I also stayed for the children. I left of my own free will once my children were able to be on their own. I am now the Wench who left her wonderful husband and am no longer welcome in our previous social circle. I never told anyone what was going on, and they still don't know.

I did have the forums...:lol: I met a special man and many friends who have helped me through the hard times.

Thank you. :huggy:

It must feel good to get that out. I can actually relate from previous experience. I don't know if the "prominent person in the community" was a political leader, but too often abusers share characteristics with politicians, clergys, lawyers, and, I'm sorry...police officers. It's the control that drives them, and they are so clever and manilupative at hiding their controlling ways when they need to. I'm sure your ex- was very charming in the beginning when you all were dating.

He was charming for over 17 years and still is. He's Mr Wonderful with a dark side.

I hope he will get counseling one day.

What makes a man beat a woman?

I have no idea.

I just know it's a nightmare a woman wants to wake up from and still have her Mr Wonderful at her side.

Wenchy, You are not going to get through to anyone on here. It is more complicated then they can imagine. In their minds it is cut and dry, he hits you, you leave. It is just not that simple for most people. That is why a few posts back I suggested to fed up to do some research on the subject. I myself never understood it until I went through it. A club I wish I didn't belong to. The dues are too high.
It is like all abusers "went to different schools together".:buddies:
