[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 450406, member: 6705"] I'm coming back with more hugs. I watched husband go through horrible emotional agony from the time I met him 8 years ago, and still now there is some. * DO NOT let him leave with the kids. Supervised is good. The drugs? Addict behavior does NOT go away just because they haven't done anything in X days. * Domestic violence shelters are there to help. You don't have to stay. They can help with counseling, attorneys, or just someone in real life to talk to. * The absolute WORST kind of DV, in my opinion, is neglect and emotional abuse. It's all good for those with obvious wounds. But ours? Ours linger. Yes, physical abuse causes emotional upheaval, I won't deny that. However... When I was in OK with XH, my Mom asked me... "Does he hit you?" I said no - which was true - I told her, "it would be so much easier to leave if he did" - which was also true (for me). Emotional abuse and neglect is insidious. Maybe they can't/won't help. But I would bet that they CAN and WILL. :hugs: You didn't leave. HE left. That will say a LOT to the courts. [/QUOTE]
