I hope this was a learning experience for you. You can't be a door mat unless you lay down. I had to learn that too, but it took me MUCH LONGER.

I stayed married to a man for 26 YEARS, while he treated me like that and WORSE. I was terrified of him, plus I had 2 kids that he threatened to take away where I'd NEVER see them again -- and he WOULD have done that -- there's NO doubt in my mind. He just wanted to hurt me any way he could.

I waited until the youngest child was 18, and then divorced the bum. Of course that infuriated him, and he stalked me, called at all hours of the night, and THEN I had to call the police because there was a BOMB in the garage!!! No kidding-he'd put a bomb in there. The cops brought the bomb squad, carefully got the thing out of there, took it out in the country, and blew it up!!

They took "care" of him!

After that, I moved out of town where he didn't know where I was -- and my kids would NOT tell him either. He's dead now.

Make sure the next guy is MUCH different in character than THIS guy. Take time in choosing who you're going to be with. Do a background check on him, and loads of research! You cannot be too careful.

God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee
