Quote From: cati2dThis may not be as realistic as others but I have a husband that makes sure to call me stupid and dumb in front of my children and I ask why and what makes him think he can call me that
he says or claims he has the right. And when I do not question him about it he thinks he is in
the right. When I do question him he just says just drop it you do not know what you are talking
about and when I can confide in someone they try to reassure me that I am not these things it is
not always helpful because he had already said it and now I think it is true. What else am I to think if someone that is suppose to love me calls me this? I am now divorcing him because I
can not do this anymore and my confidont has asked me if i could/would change my mind about
the divorce for the sake of the children and my answer is still no I will not change my mind. Am I wrong? After dealing with this for the last 10 years?
This might be late, and you may not see it but....
YOU ARE RIGHT TO LEAVE!!!!!
I have always told my daughter especially, just because you might share DNA or at the very least a last name DOES NOT give ANYONE the RIGHT to treat you like something on the bottom of their shoe.
Children would rather come from a broken home than live in one, to quote the Good Doc, and what kind of example would you be setting for daughters ( who will learn that they HAVE to take this crap from some MAN) , or sons ( who grow up thinking it is their RIGHT as men to treaqt their spouses or girlfriends like dirt) if you were to stay in this?
I commend you for your strength and character for standing up for yourself and standing your ground, and your children in the long run will be better off for it.
