Your story touched my heart. The part of living with fear and being a shadow I have experienced. It's difficult to learn to forgive myself, I often think why did I allow it. You did what you had to to survive and finally (even though it took you years) you got brave and took the first step to love yourself - YOU LEFT HIM. Be gentle with yourself and even though you will never be the same, don't be sad about change. By change we grow. You've just got to focus on nurturing your further growth.

Question by: Anonymous
I am with someone who has hit me before. We started out great like everyone. I do not remember all our fights but I would make police reports and he didnt know. I never pressed charges but the state picked them up and did it for me. When he found out he was pissed and we fought. He said he never hit me because I did not end up in the hospital. I got pregnant and we stayed together going threw arguments and cheating. I do not think I am scared of him the way you were of your husband. I'm scared of what he can do but not really of him I have not/do not change my self or walk on eggshells around him. He hasn't hit me again because he does not want to go to jail. Basically my qestion is if he stopped hitting you and you stayed with him for so long what made you finally leave him?
