    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      He was controlling and uncaring. 24 years. He listened to his mother and sister, but never to me. I did everything that I could to make him see that he was slowly destroying the family. It was never what we needed but what his mother wanted for him. 56 years old baby. But never would he listen. He was going to leave everything to his sister to hold for my children. He is the father but that is it. Even when he got the papers for separation did he even discuss this with me with his mother

      Treatments
