I married my ex husband 3 months after my 19th birthday.  He was extremely abusive and actually almost killed me one night. I left him several times but always came back.  I put up with it even after our daughter was born.  My biological father abandoned me as an infant and I didn't want my daughter to grow up without a father and he knew that and I think he took advantage of that.  So, I stayed with him.  One day when my daughter was about 3 months old, he drove drunk with her.  That was the moment that everything became clear.  She was the love of my life and the thought of him almost killing her tore me up inside.  At that moment, I left and never looked back.  To this day he has no relationship with her whatsoever (HIS choice).  I am now remarried to a man who would never dream of abusing me and he treats my two daughters like they are his own.
