Domestic violence is not necessarily about wife/husband getting physically violent. It usually begins with one or the other throwing verbal insults at each other and progresses from that.
Domestic violence means one partner treating the other partner like crap. IF it goes on, then, often and eventually "MURDER" is the eventual outcome.
Husbands AND wives are equally able to do this. Some of us leave before it gets to that and as I have said, it was lucky that I didn't take a knife to the arsehole ... I walked out, with NOTHING and got nothing monetary from him. He never saw his daughter again until she was 19 and checked up on him with the help from a friend of mine. I had never ever said anything bad about him ... I encouraged her to call him but he hung up.
He is now dead .... since 2006. He left nothing of importance and I presume died a pauper since nobody wanted to pay for his funeral.
I think he was a latent gay. My daughter says as much. We know he was a trannie. There was evidence of that! How effing sad. He used to be quite important and earned heaps of money too.
Beat that, AG.
I deleted my comment and after that response I am glad I did- we are trying to out do each other with stories of who was the most abused?
You have no idea, I tone down my language and tell but a fraction of my true story, but then I knew it was really too personal to share. I feel for you if you were abused Neferti, one thing that is certain is that I know what you went through and the lasting impact that has been left stays with you ( us ) still. Its not a competition, abuse is abuse and our stories may vary slightly, a different script but the ending is always the same. It was not so much what he did to me, but my kids that really left its mark, they were never hit, I made sure of that, but not having a loving father leaves its mark on them. Succeeding in spite of his campaign of personal destruction was very gratifying.
He needs help.
