I just informed my parents about what's going on. I finally let them in. And I am so glad I did. I need and want their support now. I have been carrying this by myself in my life and I need to let them in. They were very supportive. My dad has noticed my husband's anger and control issues. My mother has noticed and says that she can tell my husband does truly love me. Both were supportive of my leaving him, if my well-being and self esteem are being damaged and if I am being abused. They both have some amount of hope that he can improve. And they both think he will try to hold onto me when I do tell him I am leaving him. They agree that couples therapy is necessary in order for my husband to truly improve because he has so many issues.
