[QUOTE="Tiredof33, post: 764089, member: 13558"] Dandelion I hope you'vd had a chance to relax the last few days. I too married young & hubby showed so many troubling signs I was not mature to recognize. The marriage was an abusive nightmare. I could not get rid of him & I knew if the relationship continued my husband would kill me. This was during the 70's when I had to have hubby cosign for a furniture loan coming from my paycheck, my credit union. I had almost 8 years employment but women had very few rights. My church pastor told me to stay in the marriage, I was the glue holding the fam together & hubby would out grow his alcohol, drugs, other women. He finally left for 2 years & when my he wanted to come back I said no. Kids let him in, he tried to kill me, all male police still would not make him leave. I called the state's attorney's office & finally got help. Hubby pulled a knife on police & was arrested. All in front of my young son. Hubby called me from jail collect. I refused the call, but he was out of jail soon. Life was h*ll! I blamed myself for all of the trouble my son got into. My poor choices hurt us all. No gov help back then & I was one of the working poor. No support ever with the kids. We all have done the best we could with what we had. Mdy son loves sympathy & pity parties. I apologized man years ago & I have finally let the guilt go. I know plenty of people from group therapies that have turned their lives around & had great jobs & great kids. If they want it they will find a way. It is not you fault, none of us are perfect!! (((HUGS))) [/QUOTE]
