I wanted to say thanks to this site. I am in the middle of divorcing my husband because his untreated mental illness has us fighting constantly and scares the crap out of our 3yr old. Well since he is so good at making me think I am nuts and not him I was seriously doubting if this divorce was the right step until I stumbled on your article "signs of a controlling man" and "8 reasons why women stay with a controlling man" I could not stop crying. It was my life to a tee. I had heard from my thereapist over and over her concerns that he was emotionaly abusive to bot me and our son but emotional abuse is so new to me. I figured there are no bruises so whats the problem. After those articles and some more article reading, I know understand my own psych issues because I can finaly say with complete honesty I am trying to survive domestic violence.
