Thank Pfrog! Until recently, I always thought that the domestic violence shelter was for physically abused women. I know of a group on line that I can meet with once in awhile around my area. I should go to a few of their meetings. I thought for a long time things were mostly my fault. I'm smarter now.
What causes men like him to be this way? He had a great childhood and two loving parents and he got along with his younger brother and sister, so this doesn't fit the pattern of an abuser. He was a bully growing up and his parents let him get away with a lot of stuff though. Is there any hope for change? I doubt there is as he refuses to believe that he's wrong in any way and he refuses to see any marriage counselors.
