Riding The Misery of My Abusive Marriage

my abusive marriage I ride the misery of my abusive marriage through my children’s youngest years in Texas. I focus on being their mother, trying to take my mind off of the horrible relationship I have with my husband.

There are good times, I’m sure, but if I write of them they seem forced and almost imaginary.

Perhaps that is my hindsight and not true sight, but it seems Will’s and my honeymoon periods were short-lived and not powerful at all like some victims experience.

I stayed because I thought I should. I stayed because I couldn’t definitely say what was wrong. If I couldn’t verbalize the problem, I couldn’t solve it and I didn’t see why my children   should suffer a broken home because of my sadness.
