Why do some people recognize physical abuse but turn a blind eye to emotional abuse?

I sat in a rocking chair for a year crying because I was so depressed over the emotional abuse I was getting from my now EX-Husband, until I almost lost myself.
I was always a strong woman so bringing me down made him look better.
I finally got out with the help of family and friends.
If you have anyone you can go to for help, do it.
It was hard at 44 to start over, but it is even harder to stay and keep putting up with the abuse.

@GingerPeach THank you for that. At 41, I am scared of having to start over. :/
@Dewkissedrose I know how you feel but don't waste anymore of your life on a dead end relationship. The first year was very hard but then I met the love of my life and we spent 10 wonderful years together before he died.
My ex said I would never make it without him. Not only did I make it without him I did better then he ever could.
The longer you wait the harder it is to start over. You are still young enough to have a good life and a better one then you have now.
