Seemed in love with...My husband too went to church. Seemed in love with his daughter and the Lord. Over the last few years of marriage we've had two girls of our own and he has shown himself an angry man. I him very angry once while we were engaged but nothing out of the ordinary on other occasions. <br />He has become condescending, critical, demeaning and many other things to me. Radio and written messages over the last week or so identify this as verbal, mental and emotional abuse. I've told friends that I believe this was happening but I could not identify what was happening. <br />Either way his fury has grown and so has the frequency of the venomous words towards me and our oldest daughter. He rarely sees his oldest daughter and seems not to care. When she comes to visit, she spends most of her time with me. <br />I am weary and finding myself vulnerable to his lies. At this point, I can do little right and not much is satisfying. Physically responding, I have spoken with loved ones about a redemptive separation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10948559.post-72196361345106632282012-12-20T06:40:16.367-06:002012-12-20T06:40:16.367-06:00My husband went to church with me during our court...My husband went to church with me during our courtship, and did everything "right". But one day before marrying him, God gave me a background check on him. And although it wasn't specific and I couldn't see them physically, I was warned. I considered myself a strong woman-not putting up with anyone's foolishness. And yet I find myself in an emtional and mentally abusive marriage.<br /><br />I've never been at the hospital so much in my life as I have over the past four years.<br />I discovered much later that his dad was and still is physically, emotionally and verbally abusive not only to his wife but his daughter as well. And now that we have a daughter, I see signs of my husband being the same way toward her as he is to me.<br /><br />People think he is the greatest guy ever. But to look at me physically now, then before I said I Do, you could tell that he's not such a nice guy afte all. I'm physically beat down and now may suffer from serious physical ailments because of all of the abuse behind closed doors.<br /><br />I've stayed because of my daughter which seems backwards because I don't want her exposed to such treatment. But the courts will probably give my husband visitation witch I am afraid of him having her alone because I don't trust his judgment. He is always around men and drinks a lot socially, among other things like the way he talks to her and he's just not protective over her as a father should be. But if I don't physically leave I may not be healthy enough or even around to care for my precious baby. I'm just way too stressed and physically drained. I want the peaceful life I once had. <br /><br />I'm leaving!

I had just pray...Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I had just prayed today that God show me what I truly should do about the relationship with my husband. I knew it was really way pasted due to leave him. So, I moved myself and my babies in with my mother. My husband is a serious alcoholic. He is a wonderful person sober; but a completely different person when he's drunk. My children and I deserve soooo much better than that!!! I'm taking our life back with my father's help.
