I just want to say that I am in a loveless marriage with a cruel man and I have 2 special needs kids I love dearly and want to escape but I can’t…I have no job and no family to support me, if only emotionally. Â I feel like I am having a good day and maybe I can try to lose weight..but then I see my husband and he goes after me..We were in the same room for 45 minutes..he called me fat 20 times…I have been doing research and think I am suffering from PTSD…I have reached out for help 2x…I once met with a counselor who let’s just say was not helpful…and then 1 year later I called a domestic abuse hotline and no one picked up the phone.
I come to this page and feel that there are people feeling like me tonight and it helps, if only until I crash. Â My dreams used to be my escape, I fail to dream anymore and just go blank. That’s all.

Hi Robbins,
That is just cruel. It is mental cruelty. No wonder you are so down. ANyone would be. I don’t know which country you are in but in the US there is a national number for domestic violence. Here it is ..1800 799 7233. Call them. THey will tell you about places you can call or go where you live. If they don’t answer google your area for domestic violence. It is not right. You are being hurt. He has a serious problem and you can’t be the one to fix it. Please be careful. I spoke to the police about something like this and they said men like this ALWAYS get worse. thats what they told me.
Tell your friends. Tell people. Dont be alone with it. Tell your doctor. Tell your pastor if you have one. I mean, people you can trust, not that would tell him. But tell someone. HE is a bully and he has got a problem. If you can get out, go to family, go to a shelter. It is better sooner than later.
Im saying a prayer for you. If you want to email me, im at lori1735@yahoo.com. Feelfree.
Robbin, have you seen the wheel of power? Google it. Does it sound familiar? You CAN get out, he’s cut you off, that’s what controlling people do. Better to go to a shelter than have everything get worse and worse.
I’ll be thinking about you.
When our back is against the wall and when we are cornered sometimes we feel like yelling, fighting, to try and make a way out, but as much as we claw it seems like we can’t make a hole to get out.
Any husband who will make his wife feel low and degrade her is less of a man himself. The thing we all need to realize is that we all come in different shapes and sizes, and no one is perfect; not even your husband.
A true mother you are loving your children and staying for their sake, that’s a woman with a heart like no other.
Never let your dreams die it’s the one thing no one can steal. Next time you need to escape dream awake, pretend you are a queen, and if your husband ever insults you again just laugh at him, he won’t understand that you are above him.
Don’t be brought down, I know it’s hard, and I cant speak on what you go through, but just know others are dealing with the same thing, and they’re still fighting on.
I’ve put another comment for you but its waiting for something. hope you get it soon.
Thanks for your comments . I ‘ll think about it. appreciate your support.
