Hello everyone. I'm 53 now and my late husband was 60 when he passed 12 years ago..19 year old age difference. He used to tell me I was useless, what good was I to him, even though I contributed towards bills, etc. There were no kids. I would often lock myself in the bathroom, while he was in a drunken rage, banging on the door, laughing that our dog was too weak to protect me. He had a good job, we had a nice house and he would always update my car. I will never forget the time I told him I was leaving, after he had banged my head against the wall, that he would finance a car for me. I don't know why ulim writing this only to need confirmation that he was mentally abusive.
