I'm truly sorry to hear some of you went thru....*HUGS*....
I for One been in an abusive marriage for 15 years off and on....I saw the way it was effecting myself and my children...Of Course , I was scare to leave him...
But, I had courage to stand up for myself and my children....I became stronger and able to tell him to leave.....
Now, I am in the middle of a divorce and starting my life again with my 3 handsome sons.... 
And I made a promise to God, I never will get into something like this again...If I do....I would kick him out of the freaking door and He won't know what hit him!!!
