Mum,
Thankfully I never wanted children with him. He has two, one who we raised together - if you could call it that - I did the nurturing, discipline and even homeschooled his own son!



Today I had a wonderful massage and then went to bed for 2 hours. I feel so relaxed. I forgot how nice a massage is!  :)

Hi SF,

I am moved by your posts.  Best of luck to you in your future.  You are an intelligent, strong, wise survivor.  Continue to listen to your heart and follow your intuition.  It won't fail you. 

Tiffany

P.S.  I love Vivian Green!  Have you heard her most recent CD.  She laments more about this abusive lover, or maybe it's another,  as she realizes that parting from him, although it hurts deeply, was definitely the best thing for her.

What the new Vivian Green one called? I'll download it off of iTunes! These songs really speak to me.

BTW my version is a remix by Above and Beyond Mix. I love the driving beat of it.

Hi there Sallying,
I'm glad to hear of your progress.  I'm glad we can celebrate the end of your abuse.  May it never rear its horrible head again!

Well there has been a turn of events which I could have never forseen nor believed before today.

My h is willing to look at the sexual abuse and sex/love addict issues in his life. He finally got a copy of Why Does He Do That? and started reading it.

We had an appointment with a psychologist today. I was extremely nervous about going there. In the past my h has ALWAYS used joint therapy sessions to get more evidence that I am the one who is messed up. Well yesterday he did not do that.  The psych listened to both our stories and then proceeded to inform my h that his beliefs and behavior were abusive and unhealthy. So glad to hear another man say it like it is to my h. :D :D :D So begins my h's therapy.

I've known for years that h had this problem and even got books on it for him to read. Yet none of them have addressed h's issues like Lundy's book.


Don't know where this is going. Don't know if there will be actual changes. Don't know how long it will take.


As the psych put it, he is willing to look at the issues and he does admit the attitudes and behaviors are unhealthy and destructive to our marriage and to me.

The psych told me already if he is willing and admits to what he is doing, there is half the battle.


If you pray, please do. Thank you.

Hi Sallying,
I hope this turns out to be what you want it to be.  In fact, maybe it's a good time to identify your hopes and expectations regarding the therapy process with your H.   Don't let those big hopes lurk.
