I Survived Domestic Abuse
Wives are not the only ones who suffer at the hands of their spouse. I did my best to get along to be supportive and kind. I was the one what would always blame myself for all the problems. She knew I would never hit a woman and she took advantage of that. After 25 years of verbal, emotional and extreme physical abuse I left and never went back. After I left, I couldn't believe how wonderful life could be. It took a long time to recover from the PTSD, but 15 years later the terrifying flashbacks are very rare. So bottom line, don't always assume it is the wife that is getting abused.
