Haha sorry my comment was very odd in itself!
Just left an abusive marriage. Ex H was emotionally abusive. I kept changing and changing and walking on eggshells and all the rest of it to "make things work" until I couldn't take any more. It ramped up after DS was born big time.
Still not sure a) why I put up with his shittiness and disrespect and b) how to avoid in the future.
