Hi Larry,

In answer to your question....I do believe I would have found my way out eventually even if there was no overt physical abuse. I received much more verbal/emotional abused than the physical. I think it would have been somewhat more difficult to do without the physical abuse. Words can garble the mind in so many ways where physically, it's boom and it's done, nothing more to "think" about.

When I did decide to end it, I know that it had to be something that my heart and my head agreed upon. It took time for them to come together. I am very thankful that they did finally come together for I would hate to think what may have happened if I had stayed.
