Karen’s Story of Abuse

I don't want to fail. But I find it increasingly hard to keep myself together mentally, emotionally and physically in the midst of his abuse.We are a second marriage for both of us so, we have all these other little people involved. I don’t want to fail. But I find it increasingly hard to keep myself together mentally, emotionally and physically in the midst of comments like these:

  • You’re a fucking Bitch!
  • You’re a crazy bitch!
  • I can’t compete with the crazy in your head!
  • Shut the fuck up!
  • Get out of my fucking sight!
  • Leave me the fuck alone!
  • If I wanted you to know, I’d tell you!
  • You always have your head up your ass!
  • I can’t rely on you for anything!
  • You’d better never fucking talk like that to me again!
  • You’d better never ask me that again!
  • You make everything worse. Everything! Work, Home, Parenting. Everything!
  • If I want something done around here, I guess I have to do it myself!
  • I wouldn’t have to get this mad if you wouldn’t push me.
