I am so very sorry about what your husband said. That was cruel and not helpful. I am in no way advocating this action but I was married for 20 years and during this time I was diagnosed. My husband didn't believe in mental illness and became verbally and emotionally abusive to the point that I divorced him. I felt like I had no choice for reasons of sanity.

You are worthy. Keep holding on. You're not alone. I'm here if you need to talk.

I am curious .. why do you think anyone would bash you for this?
You are not to blame for what your husband did.
Abusers use a type of psychological brain washing akin to that used on POWs which is why so many victims stay so long - some stay forever. It is nothing to be ashamed of. You survived. Be proud!
Thanks for this!
