Abusive marriage:

Verbal abuse is very painful, yet mostly hidden. I lived in a verbally abusive marriage so I know all too well of the warning signs but chose to ignore them. Over time my husband changed into a Dr. Jekyll / Mr. Hyde. Initially I thought it was my fault and made a lot of excuses for him. I believed the "lies" he told me. I went to counseling to try and "fix" me but over time therapy made me realized that it has nothing to do with me but rather with the person that is the abuser. I just recently filed for divorce.

It was very hard to due but I feel that a burden has been lifted off my shoulders. I am at peace with my decision. hopefully people will read your blog and see themselves in it and can get the help they need to truly be at peace. Even though I know the road ahead of me is going to be very painful and difficult, I know that I am worthy of being treated with respect.

Remember, everyone deserves respect and if your boyfriend, husband or even friend does not do that, then walk away. Yes, it will be very hard as I am living proof of that but you will be at peace.
