This is what i have been told by my exh (who i am still legally married to but have been living separately from for almost 2 yrs) time and time again.
He was an abusive, manipulative, on the outside 'charming' and controlling man. He was emotionally and mentally abusive to me for the 13 years that we were together, and at times physically violent aswell.
I was putting up with him for the 'sake of the kids' to try and give them a 'normal family' with both parents.
Over the years I have found out things about him that i have been shocked about. For eg doing drugs, drinking alcohol, he was into porn, chat lines, men aswell as women, and the last straw, which i couldnt live with him any longer was that he was abusing our dd. :(
The only thing he has to say about me is that I no longer cover my head. Which somehow is much much worse than all that he has done/is doing!!
I try to avoid converstaions with him, as he will try and have a go at me. At any opportunity.
I tried to not let it get to me, but need to speak to someone about it, and so am posting on here. I have posted on the thread 'This is playing on my mind' and alot of the abusive tactics have rung a bell with me, of what I have been through when with him.
Sorry this is long.....
