[QUOTE="carolanne, post: 86644, member: 1904"] Barbara, unfortunately, in the beginning of my own marriage, I was the one mentally abused, the one hubby kept isolated and alone, married to a bully....why? Because that is what I grew up with and thought was normal. When we moved into our house back in 96, I met a neighbour who had been through the same thing. With her though, she worked up the courage and threw him out and made the kind of life she wanted. And she gave me the courage to do the same thing. Hubby and I seperated for a while, than sought counselling. He was also diagnosed and started medications....it took a long time but I now have a stable marriage with a supportive hubby. Unfortunately, gfgd saw/heard a lot when she was little and now I am ashamed that I taught my daughter, in the beginning, that it's acceptable to be treated that way. I can only offer her support and the knowledge that she is worth so much more, that my door is open when and if she needs me. I don't voice my opinion of twit when talking with her either...I keep it to myself. I've offered to pay the fees for a phone to be installed and the first two months worth of bills....that gives me some small comfort that she will have a phone now. I just wish I had learned a long time ago and maybe she wouldn't be where she is now.... Carolanne [/QUOTE]
