"I'm trying to stop!"  More like trying to hide it better...I hear this all the time, and I am so tired of hearing it.  I don't want to be hurt anymore, so I've left.  He still doesn't get it.  He thinks I need to apologize to HIM!!!  I did nothing wrong, I just responded to what he did to me.  I'm tired of it.  All he does is lie, yell, hit, and call me names.  I deserve better.  He'll never look at what he's doing wrong, he'll just always blame me.  I have enough to worry about- I don't need his crap.

Yes, you do deserve better. You did nothing wrong. You are doing what you need to do for yourself and your son. :)

They do always blame us. That is the way they justify the abuse to us and to themselves. Unfortunatly he may never understand what he has really done to you. I finally gave up trying to justify my leaving to my stbx. He will never understand the damage he has done to me.

You are right you do not need his crap. Are you in a safe place?
