That is all i'm wondering really. Dh and i have been violent to eachother in the past (most recently 1 yr ago). Usually started by me in response to something completely dreadful he's said to me - not that that excuses it. However I've been left with a permanent injury which is likely to have been caused by him 5 years ago. We are trying to make things work (there are many other issues and we're seeing a counsellor together) but I'm not sure i can ever feel close or want to be close to him again. I also soemtimes have to take medication to get to sleep if we have a row as he says such awful things and otherewiae i'd be awake all night thinking about his horrible words. I suffer from nightmares about him. I'm wondering if there is any point to continuing with the counselling and the marriage?
