Question

  Posted to group - Chat    <<Previous    Next>>

Do you agree?

I have been sitting on the divorce desicion for almost a yr now. I'm new to this site. So bare with me.

 

My whole marriage my spouse raped me, was addicted to porn and video games and very abusive emotionally and controlling.

 

To make a long story short I was always the one to try to seek help everytime. I have been hurt continuously despite the help. We have done counselling, classes, retreats, etc.

Nothing worked. He would say he was sorry. gonna change and actually look like it for a couple months then go back to what he was doing.

 

Last August I was 9 weeks preggo with our 3rd girl. I had hypermesis. I was severly sick and throwing up hours and hours everyday. I just got out of the hospital from being on iv's when my spouse decided to rape me after I told him to never have unconsenual sex with me ever again. He didnt care.

 

That was the last straw.

 

We finally separated in January. He claims he has changed yet he has hurt me again twice since. Just me. No one else.

 

He tries to convince me im crazy, things arent as bad as they are etc.

 

I gave it almost 10 yrs. I am scared. I want a divorce. I realize he is an abuser. I need to get away from him. But I have no job. No money. How do I get through this. I have 3 little girls. I want to be able to provide for them.

 

I did give it all I had right? I'm making the right decision?

How do I seek help?

Please listen to the other posters who are urging you to get help from your local domestic violence hotline or shelter.

Please protect yourself and your children.

the resident abuse shelters are not like the temp homeless shelters you see on tv...

 

ok, you have issues with men, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't move forward in your life.

 

Personally, I think you should table the subject or idea of men altogether right now and focus on yourself, you have a lot of other things to work on besides that issue - worry about your "issues with men" when you start to get the desire to even be with one again...

My son also passed 5 yrs ago. I never went to counselling til recently and it really isnt helping me. She listens and encourages me to go to college but no one wants to help me with my issues with males.

For awhile I hated men. No offense but thought you were ALL pigs. My father left me mom when I was 2 and is on his 5th wife with girls inbetween. Then I married that perv.

Iam slowly realizing on my own there ARE decent men out there but they are few and far between. My brother was a decent guy before he died. We were very close and we talked almost daily.

I honestly am terrified to go to a shelter. Shelters have no privacy? I'm worried about my children going off with someone or being harmed.
