Similar boat

My husband has been abusive on and off for 30 years. Mostly verbal, but several physical altercations. The most recent last year, he would have killed me had my (very big, strong) son not stepped in and saved me cracking his dad's ribs to get him off me. I sent him to jail, it cost him 10K in bail and lawyers. The problem; I have no means of survival without him. They money he provides is more important than my hate for him and I do despise him.Since the arrest we've been together and he blew his top recently, I could see it was leading to another altercation and I remembered something my ex-marine father taught me, "When someone acts insane, act MORE insane then them!" I went ballistic screaming at him, yelling if he touched me he would go to prison and I'd be the one to put him there. IT'S A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I'M GONE. But honestly I just need money (I am chronically ill) and a place to take my 2 dogs, I wouldn't think of leaving them behind. These bastards don't deserve a 2nd chance and I am 20yr Christian! God does not approve!1 Peter 3:7

I need help
by: Anonymous

I'm in a similar situation only my husband doesn't beat me, but he's almost killed me by pinning me down and smothering me and threatening to break my neck. All because we were fighting and I said I was leaving. I am helpless against him, he's 250 lbs ex-marine and I'm a 110 lb girl that has never even been in a real fight before. I'm so scared I don't know what to do. I would leave if it were just me and he would never even see me ever again but we have 3 children so I know I will have to see him again. He said if I leave him he will kill me. I'm scared he's going to kill me so what do I do? Just except that I'm probably going to die by the hands of the person who I love and thought would never hurt me?

You were not his love of his life
by: Anonymous

You seem deluded to think that he loved you and then not press charges? I think your brain has been brain washed by him and I think with time you will have a normal out look on life. Right now you talk and act like a victim who was controlled.

I thank you

I love how you finally had the courage to let everyone know what was going on. It's a good thing to know that you took the answers to God and let everything get handled by itself instead of by the courts.

escaping the monster i call my husband
by: Anonymous

I would like to thank you for sharig this. There are a lot of women out here including myself that goes through this. I feel our abusers do need help instead of prison, but what if they have been to prison and did the anger management course and know how to maniplinate the system. So what do we do about those kind of abuser's?

my husband the monster
by: Anonymous

I would like to thank you for writing this. I also dont believe in calling the police, prison isn't always the answer. They do need intensive help. The person i'm with went to anger management - didnt help it. He brags about manipulating the program. I tell him that I really do care, but just because i'm not going to call the police doesn't mean you continue the abuse. Take it as a second chance to pull it together, just because we won't call - somebody else will!!!
