It was following the end of a 13 year marriage, and since the good times were so good, I thought the bad were just moments. Anyway, I would write a novel about my experience, but I just wanted to thank you for sharing in your blog and to tell you that you did the right thing in making your experience public. If I could find a group in which I can share my experience to other women to protect them from what I had been through, to teach them, give them some awareness, I would do it in a heartbeat. thank you melissa.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09447437132513003731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681709.post-6705113045984693412011-07-25T01:45:13.074-07:002011-07-25T01:45:13.074-07:00Thank you for this post.

Noone could ever imagine , so when sometimes I metion it , people gasp and don't know how to react. I am trying to let go and forget, I don't want to be angry anymoreAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681709.post-53695346087304951412011-07-20T08:20:28.302-07:002011-07-20T08:20:28.302-07:00Obviously, I deleted a comment. I don't really...Obviously, I deleted a comment. I don't really want to point fingers or get in a public discussion with people who were involved. But I did want to fill in the missing piece, which is that there were people around who saw what was happening and said nothing. This is a source of incredible grief, resentment, and confusion to me. Truthfully, I don't know if I can trust people anymore, after seeing people who supposedly cared for me letting this happen without any support or action. I am so grateful for people who did speak up, even though I probably didn't really listen as I should have. I am committed now to speaking up if I see someone being treated badly, even if that person hates me for it. Please, let's all look out for one another!Honey Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082466805390933460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681709.post-41655677126042796952011-07-19T15:11:31.775-07:002011-07-19T15:11:31.775-07:00Ugh, Becky how awful!

I really know that feeling so well. After I left him, I had so many of his/our friends tell me "we couldn't believe how poorly he treated you when WE were present", and all I could thing was WHY did you say nothing.<br /><br />Also, when I found out he'd cheated on me, I felt so betrayed, because half of the people we used to hang out with together knew about it, and had said nothing to me.Rebekka @ Becky's Kaleidoscopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561986047548051036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681709.post-12721286386767199572011-07-19T14:10:10.924-07:002011-07-19T14:10:10.924-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Honey Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08082466805390933460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681709.post-51799905352961213782011-07-19T07:26:52.837-07:002011-07-19T07:26:52.837-07:00Thank you.

I was in a verbally abusive relationship for 2 years, I tried to leave several times (which was then used against me since "only he cared about our relationship" in the hour-long tirades breaking me and my self-esteem down). It wasn't until I discovered he'd been cheating on me that I found the strength to leave him. Frankly, I've never been happier since I did so (six months ago). So thank you for sharing this. Brought tears to my eyes.Rebekka @ Becky's Kaleidoscopehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561986047548051036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681709.post-76498456892603033032011-07-18T10:55:00.860-07:002011-07-18T10:55:00.860-07:00Beautiful, brave and inspiring.
