I'm so glad u got the strength to leave, I know its hard. In my relationship it's a constant rollarcoaster of emotions, everyone tells me to run, but I can't, and I'm sure with children it made it even harder.

I don't know why it isn't recognized in the criminal justice system. I say all the time I would rather he hit me then say those evil words. I can heal from a punch, but the words sting forever, I reply them in my head. I've gotten to the point where I think it's me with the problem. I have made him this way, it's my fault for being to clingy and stupid.
