    • Close Physical & Emotional Abuse

      My husband of 2 years has been emotionally and physically abusive for our entire relationship. I knew in my gut something was not right with him but chose to ignore it. He had me convinced that it was me and I was responsible for his actions. He is also an alcoholic and last Sun night got drunk and stangled me so bad I could not breath or speak. I struggle with feelings of guilt and self-doubt. I realize I love the man I wished he was. I can't believe this happened to me.

    • Close Breakups & Divorce

      My husband and I have been married 2 years. He has been emotionally and physcially abusive. I know in my heart I should leave him for good. He has moved out and is being so mean and hurtful. I'm just scared to be alone.
