I am not certain who you are referring to msktay, however I apologize if I have personally made you feel misunderstood. That was never my intent, nor do I look down upon you in the slightest. In fact I relate to your situation in some ways, some things you discuss are much like what happened between my husband and myself when we were newly married. Unfortunately, the written word does not always transmit nearly as well as speaking face to face.

I made this into a new thread as I felt it was deviating from its original intent of supporting you. Much of the discussion in this thread has simply been about domestic violence in general, and not meant to refer to you personally.
