Topic : 07/16 Bully Husband

Karen, I hope you read this message. Get out now. There is no way that man is going to change, and he needs to. I was in a similar situation in my first marriage and I got out luckily before there were kids involved. I had gained weight and my husband told me that I was disgusting and he wanted nothing to do with me. I know how it feels, but not to the extent that you suffer. Your husband, or the man that you married because he certainly does not act like a husband, is a pig. I had so much anger surging through my body as I watched him and heard the way he treated you and your children. You need to get out as soon as possible. If you don't, you will regret it and your children will suffer. Your son will learn this example and do the same thing to his wife, and your daughter will grow up thinking that body image is the only thing that matters and he self esteem will suffer. Get away from that man and do everything that you can to keep him away. I'm sure it will not be easy because he is so controlling that he will probably make it very hard to you legally, but you need to get out. The sooner the better.

I know exactly what this woman is going through. I finally left and now putting myself through college and made sure my son graduated from college. I do find myself not dating and sometimes still run from many things in my life. I know when I finally left my son was 14 and he ask me why did you take so long momma? What where you waiting on? So I didn't know what to say.  I tried everything to please and I still find myself doing this. I am slowly finding me again and it has been 6 years. He has married and divorced since then. I hope she has the courage to move on and and not have to hear the words my son spoke to me from her children. Good Luck to her. She looked so sad. My heart goes out to her. Tell her to breathe its ok to breathe.
