worked the first time to a degree. He did take off with my daughter for a few years after that though and I didn't kno where she was.

Filing for divorce has been a strange feeling. I cried the whole week before that. I new there was no way around it, because my life with him so far has been getting worse. I am powerless against the alcohol and its affects. I just have to get away from this situation. Divorce works for me.

I am in the process and, as any abuser, she keeps adding to the things that she did to me, detailing them in writing . . .

I divorced my ex when his abuse turned from emotional to physical.

I divorced in 2007

I am in the middle of a divorce...

going to trial. he is very upset about this. blames me. said if i say i didnt want this but i let it go to far. feel like he is trying to keep me there and take control of me. feel manipulated by his words. he is trying to play the victim role and everything is my fault. complains to others. looking to get thru this and away from him now.

It's a type of leaving (getting away).

undecisive for last 4 months, finally made decision to file for divorce when I was still waiting for him to change. after he moved his girlfriend into my house in less than a month after my leaving I knew it was done but still waited for him

I was put in a position where I felt I had no other choice but to file for divorce. It's very hard to deal with emotionally. It's getting better each day.
