Abusers never change
Quote From: kathy58When I first met my ex, he was funny, great to be around. Until the day I told him I was pregnant. He became verbally abusive, started hitting me, even put a knife to my throat one night. All the while I was pregnant. Once my son came he was in and out of the house, I caught him cheating on me and I told him enough was enough and threw him out for good. I raised my son since birth by myself. Was it easy, no; is my son perfect, no. Are we better off without him, absolutely. I went for full custody of my son when he was 4 years old, his "father" showed up at the hearing, the only thing he had to say was he wanted to see his son. I told him fine, you need to give me 24 to 48 hours notice, show up sober and drug free. I got full custody and we never heard from him again. We have not seen him in 10+ years, the last I heard he was in prison. I had an abusive husband, which is now why he is the ex. I have heard every excuse there is why he did it. But none of the excuses were good enough to want to stay with him. My children and I are much happier without him.
