It is unfortunate that for all those years of abuse, now that you are seeking help, your spouse is deciding to end it. I personally gather that she ain't buying what 'cha selling?

One of the things that needs to happen, to end this cycle of abuse, is to become part of your family again. If the only way to end it is to isolate and try it out on new friends, family, well, IMHO that won't work for the bad cycle already begun.

You can communicate through others to your spouse, making sure the family knows what path you are on...and asking them to join you. Someone who is emotionally secure doesn't put up with abuse for as long as they did.. so they need professional help too.

I am sending good wishes your way.
