I just wanted to let everyone know that so far all is okay. Surprisingly so. We have agreed to a settlement and I sent it off to my lawyer. Naturally, he is now questioning it, but I'm praying about that also. For all those who said keep records, I do have pictures and recordings if it turns out I need them. With him, you never know. God bless you all for your sweet concern and prayers. They are appreciated more than you will ever know. Thank you, Anne
3457Anne, I was in your same position at one time. For me it was the right decision, although it was very difficult. Actually, I never had any bad days after that. May God fill you with the strength and the courage you will need. I know He will. Love and hug, Jan

1751I am sorry to hear that you have been mistreated. No one should live in fear! Ignore the promises that he will change. Be strong! You have taken the first step to a life of peace and happiness. It is a long road -- but you will get there with help. Rely on friends and family -- if they support you in your decision.
Be safe!
As Jerri said, document everything in a journal daily. Do not rely on your memory. Call for help if you need it.
I will be praying for you! Please keep us updated if you can.

146688111096I can definitely sympathize. I was in a similar situation, but the only way I could guarantee my sons and my safety was to leave when my then-husband was away. Your life can become better; I have proof, since I am now with my second husband for almost twice the length of time with the first. Be strong and believe.
2079Dear Anne: I am sorry to hear this and pray for your safety. A word of advice to to document everything you can with dates, times etc. If things get ugly, you will have a back up of what has transpired. I learnt the hard way and advise anyone going through this horrible experience. Its better to have things written down, then if you need the information you have it.
Please take care of yourself and keep us posted. Hugs Jerri

740340This always breaks my heart. I have had two divorces and they were my fault just as much as the husbands. - both were good men but things went wrong. I wish you the strength to leave your marriage - a bad temper is a frightening thing. Stay strong and remember that we are here for you. Hugs Sarah (South Africa)
253107Take care of yourself, I know how hard it was for me to learn that no matter what you can't change anyone else. I am still with my husband after 30 years. I am not happy but feel like I don't have any choices as I am on disability and only get 500. a month. I admire your courage. I wish you the best and pray for your future happiness. Sharon
210Prayers are being said for you Anne as I write this post. May God bless you and give you the peace and confidence that you need in this situation. You know that you always have lots of friends on here that you can rely on to help you through anything. Love and blessings Chris
234254Hang in there, Anne! Things will get better, when you are in control of your life, and not an abuser. Divorce is tough and scary, but much better than to stay in a bad situation. I know. There will be a time after divorce, that you will feel like a heavy weight has been lifted from your shoulders. May the Lord bless you and guide you.
Hugs, Angel
12500Apr 3, 2013 -- I admire your strength and courage. This was a huge step - don't waiver now. You know in your heart this is the right move. We are here for you.
61222093May I wish you a speedy and safe resolution to your long-standing difficulties. No lady should have to suffer such unhappiness in her life. The step you have taken is clear the right one and light will soon be shining for you at the end of that tunnel. Take care.
11929It is hard to do no matter what. I didn't have a husband with a bad temper, but there was other things that made it impossible to stay together. I gave it a lot of thought and prayer for a long time before I made that big leap. Now I am happily remarried and we have 5 kids between the two of us. We will have 15 grandchildren and 2 grandchildren by the end of the summer. That first step is hard, but you can do it - just keep yourself positive and safe.
13250Bless you for taking the step. It is hard but you can do it on your own. God will look after you
29242I wish you the best, I did that 5 years ago after 40 years. Would not change a thing. Its all about me now. I am praying for you.
41781Bless you. It's hard if you don't. It's hard if you do. It's just hard differently!
