In my book, many people ask me why I stayed so long in the marriage. The answer is not a simple one.
My abuse began in 1967. It was not a topic ANYONE discussed. There were no shelters or laws against Domestic Violence---WHICH IS NOW A FELONY! And yes, I thought I could change him.
I was so wrong. If you are being abused by a spouse or partner, make the decision TO GET OUT NOW.
I stayed for too many years in a love-hate relationship and was severely injured several times. . .injuries that are still creating health problems in 2011! I urge you to get help NOW.
And, if you have a job, go to your boss, be totally honest with what is happening and explain that you need to get out! There are few bosses that will not understand the life-threatening environment you are in. DOMESTIC VIOLENCE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM.
