To all of us that are living with a partner husband or spouse that abuses us, this is an awesome website to learn how to empower ourselves. I have been reading the comments on this website for the last 2 days and my heart truly goes out to everyone, I use to really love my husband. Now I have come to the point where I cant even stand to look at him, what was I ever thinking that I could change him to how he was 10 years ago, that he would be truly sorry for all the horrible situations he has brought into my life.
I'm not a counselor. I'm a mum and a wife trying to do the best I can, If I had a dollar for every time he abused me when he was drunk I would be a millionaire by now, he has said sorry more times. Then I have hot dinners, the abuse never stops each week its a different issue and depending whats going on in his life at the time. I have my first counseling appointment next week. I hope that I will find that last little bit of courage I need to leave and never look back.
My children are victims of his abuse and i am the only one that can help them and show them a happier life, the words Respect, Honor, and Love are not words these abusers know, all they know how to do is to belittle us and ABUSE us time and time again, To anyone trying to leave keep reading all the comments on this site it will only make you stronger. ...

Hi I have been reading all the comments regarding abusive husbands, I too am living in with an abusive husband who consumes his life with drink and alcohol, he blames me for everything that is wrong in his life, he drinks and drives, has no regard for anyone, drinks to the point of no return, I can relate to all the women out there who want to leave but cant for various reasons, I get all the verbal abuse he tells me that he is going to kill himself and everyone will blame me, calls me all the time on my cell phone on the weekends and calls me abusive names, and he says if I just do what I'm told he will be happy till the next time and there always a next time, I don't go out with my friends I stay home with the kids all of the time.
I have just started talking to the domestic violence centre and they have been great support. I am hoping that by Christmas. I will be living on my own with my children. Every day I keep telling my self that he is not my problem, and that I have to keep my self strong enough to leave, if I don't to it now I never will. ... View related article.
