I left my husband in January after his latest aggressive act in December turned physical and terrified me. Since then I have gained a lot of understanding about our relationship and realised it was abusive in almost every single way.
We are as amicable as possible, possibly due to him wanting to get back together which is not going to happen. We have two very small children and he sees them here daily.
However despite the abuse and the fact that I do not love him or want to be with him, I can't stand people saying horrible things about him. I don't tell them that, but I feel so awful and want to defend him.
What is this? Is it normal, will it go away and what do I do with it?
