I was also in one. When I finally got the courage to get out, he stabbed me in the back. Literally. With a 6" filet knife.
Getting out isn't as easy as most people believe. Walk in someones shoes awhile before you make judgement on them |

the last one i stayed more for the kids. i raised his 3 kids for 2 years as long as i stayed i took the beating instead of them. i stayed until their mother was able to take them full time and then it was over for us. That's sad that you had to go through that but it was for an honorable reason I think. it was brutal. but i did what i thought i had to do at that time. last go around i took 14 blows just to the face, he knocked out 9 teeth. that was it, i was lucky to survive that one. at that point....he had to go. the mother took the kids finally and i moved on. i still have the kids whenever i want them so i am able to be in their lives but no longer in contact with him. very honorable  thank you |

Walk in someones shoes awhile before you make judgement on them So sorry Q I survived, that's the important part. And I will never let a man treat me like that again. It was a lesson very well learned. |

I just thank God that my friends situation hasn't escalated to physical abuse yet. But if you ask me, emotional is just as bad if not worse emotional can sometimes be worse. sociopathic behavior is awful, they play with the mind then it usually turns physical at some point. |

It was a lesson very well learned. im proud of you!!! my first husband was also a brutal one. been shot twice, stabbed 3 times, put in hospital about 6 times. fear and lack of help was my problem then, i was young it was 20 years ago. you are so right....never judge until you have been there yourself. guess this is why i am so leary of men and relationships. |

Yep, that's why I have gotten out of the relationships I have been in. I watch for any signs of abuse or controlling behavior. She swears that if he ever hit her she would leave, but she has no self-esteem and feels that she can't survive being single. She knows how I feel about the d-bag but it is her choice what to do. |

the hardest thing for me was forgivness....i had to learn to forgive them. if i didnt, they still had control. they still controlled my thoughts, feelings and my heart, i refused to let them have that control. i didnt forgive them for them, it was for me.

I have forgiven everyone, it's just hard to rebuild the trust. I personally watch people very closely. If they even tell me a white lie it is very hard to trust them. I am always analyzing what people say to me. And once your self esteem has been shot, it takes a long time to rebuild. But no one is ever going to have power over me except God and myself.

off topic: please change your picture. I hate pictures of babies with their mouths open and apparently I'm not fond of adults with their mouths open either. Your perogative, of course, but, could you shut your mouth? (of course I mean literally, not to stop posting) The pic is not attractive, but, I am old, so you probably don't care.

by the way, the open mouth photo totally obliterates my attention to what you are posting. If you care. You probably don't. Tough on me!
