Having been in an abusive relationship (15 years), I think that one of the things that should have triggered a red light sooner was that there were some things I could *never* talk through with him, even if they were very important to me. My mom used to tell me to wait until he calms down, to which I answered, "He NEVER calms down". Nearly 8 years since the divorce, he still hasn't. Getting out was the best thing I ever did for myself and for my children... and the recovery is ongoing, but it gets better all the time.Rachel Inbarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06605780418673759318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16825229.post-17098718975955452982010-03-17T20:59:21.541-07:002010-03-17T20:59:21.541-07:00With education, comes power.

Sometimes, we need to learn just how right we were in a certain situation. <br /><br />Good for you.Debrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05328458241519464529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16825229.post-69414370745534846002010-03-17T18:45:19.113-07:002010-03-17T18:45:19.113-07:00You are moving forward and should be proud of your...You are moving forward and should be proud of yourself.<br /><br />I am so glad that you write about this and share.Another Suburban Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120153702254735445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16825229.post-3432417893111290142010-03-15T16:24:48.696-07:002010-03-15T16:24:48.696-07:00I can so relate to that.

I'll probably go to hell for being glad that he died, but I would have never gotten away from him otherwise.

If you really want knowledge, that's a great book to start with. He also wrote "When Dad Hurts Mom," which is great to read, especially if you have kids with an abuser.<br /><br />I agree that knowledge is power, which is why I write stuff on DV awareness and education on as many blogs and forums as I can. Thank you for being so strong, and for sharing your story. You're amazing.Britni TheVadgeWighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765783251223443020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16825229.post-36413954111588795522010-03-13T20:34:43.188-08:002010-03-13T20:34:43.188-08:00It's a dead on description for sure.

My aunt was lucky enough to get away from him, but her grown children don't understand why she doesn't want anything to do with him.
