I've just dug up my first thread in Relationships from over a year ago when I had a different username, at a time when I was on MN merrily TTCing, but just had this one tiny niggle about my DH. I was posting in Relationships because it would all be dandy if only I could make him see that his behaviour was hurting me.
You're all on it, the stalwarts of the Relationships board, giving me thoughtful and intelligent input. Really lucid stuff was being said to me. And not a single cry of "leave the bastard!" or "you're being abused!".
Well, I have left him, and lord knows I was being abused (although I sure didn't know it, at the time). So I wanted to say thanks, and sorry too: I ignored your advice on my thread, or simply didn't understand it, because I wanted to hold on to my denial a bit longer at the time. I was one of those posters who disappears after seeming to completely miss the point of the posts on her thread.
But your efforts weren't lost: they did put a chink in the armour of my denial. And I stuck around the Relationships board, and it's by reading your advice on other people's threads that I was able to eventually recognise my own situation for what it was, order Lundy, and finally at my own pace get the hell out.
So: thank you.
