Its really brave to hear men admit to things like this, I suspect that it is far more common than we realise.<br />Very glad to hear that you have had 3 years of happiness with Mrs Cranky. <br />x SannahSannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13802344259857914538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-46773319656708874152012-01-12T20:43:56.375-05:002012-01-12T20:43:56.375-05:00JH, Interesting post.

Good for you - it's a difficult road to navigate. These are some monumental demons - glad you have faced them so bravely. Funny how time heals even the worst wounds.

I understand as I live with that same kind of person. I didn't realize it was abuse until about 2 years ago. I knew how he was but I didn't name it as abuse until a few years ago. It really IS hard to get out when you are in it. You made vows. You have hope because of the good part of them. But eventually your gut intuition leads you to understanding and realization, and that is the turning point. <br /><br />I am in the process of ending a 17 year marriage to a man like your ex. Thank God I woke up. Thank God I can finally say I deserve so much more. I am scared shitless but excited at the same time. Excited for the future I will finally have and I hope some day to have the kind of love you do with Mrs. Cranky. Thank you so much for talking about his and sharing your story.Michael Annhttp://thinkinginmyheadma.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-39963332334569279292012-01-10T22:02:12.451-05:002012-01-10T22:02:12.451-05:00mental abuse is bad. glad you found a sane woman.mental abuse is bad. glad you found a sane woman.danneromerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09268830006681589842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-16844319606070362572012-01-10T16:02:56.895-05:002012-01-10T16:02:56.895-05:00It is tough while you are in it, but those relatio...It is tough while you are in it, but those relationshits are what teach us to apprciate the good ones like you and Mrs. Cranky share now.

I have smiled in a "I know where you are coming from way". My ex-husband was an extremely violent man and an alcoholic. It took me 15 years to find myself again and gather the strength to throw him out on his abusive ass. He was both physically and mentally abusive to me, and if he tried to star ton my children, I would use myself as a wall between him and them, often getting twice the beating for doing it. <br /><br />My youngest son once told me that he had stopped believing in God because as he put it "if there was a God he wouldn't have let so much bad stuff happen to us".<br /><br />I am a firm believer in the quote "what doesn't kill us, makes us stronger" and I believe that now I am a much stronger person than I was when I met my ex. The whole experience has made me more appreciative of the god things in my life, and like you I have now found myself my perfect partner. We don't argue although we do discuss and fall out - but only over the subject in question, never each other!<br /><br />Life is so different now, and my youngest has changed his tune about his belief in God. I'm not sure he is a true believer but he now says "if there is a God, he made us go through all the bad shit, so that we could really appreciate papa now" (Papa is what he calls S)<br /><br />So today I am smiling, because we are very lucky people, who have fought for what we have today, and in my opinion, stronger and better because of it!<br /><br />Have a wonderful day Cranky!<br /><br />Lou :-)<br />xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
