Family Issues Support Group
Family issues is a huge range that go from minor conflict to major misbehaviour and even abuse on the part of individual members of the family occur. Whether you feel you are in a dysfunctional family or you're dealing with a very specific issue, this is the place to talk about it and find others who might be going through the same thing.
My husband hits me. Its not frequent...maybe 2 or 3 times a month. Its usually just slaps to the face and I end up in a head lock where he repeatedly slaps me unless I can drop to the ground and crawl into a ball.
I am left with minor bruising on my arms and legs...maybe a sore spot here and there.
My husband thinks I am being dramatic if I tell him its abuse or not right.
I constantly struggle in my head with "its okay just be happy he is being nice to you today' and "its not right and needs to stop". I know it won't stop.
I just needed to get it out....needed to tell someone. I know its wrong. I know i shouldn't be with him. One day I will be strong enough to leave.

There's an abuse board on DS. You'll find a lot of support on how to leave on there.
Hugs.
No amount of hoping or praying is going to make this behavior change. It will only escalate.
The sole purpose of an abuser is to gain control over their victim, it's all about power to fill the void of whatever personality issues they suffer from. It's his issue only and not you, his victim. If you need more validation than from us here on this site, I would talk to family/friends and professionals to gain a better perspective. As Deli mentioned also, there's an abuse board here on DS, the folks there would have good insight. You need to gain emotional strength to say, "enough", I'm better than this and I deserve more than this in my relationship. "You" have not failed anything, your husband has failed you.
