I know they sound like dumb questions. Postsecret Send a noteboard - 14/06/2011 10:49:47 PM
You don't need visible proof for it to be true. Emotional abuse is invisible, and that's still abuse, and just as wrong. In the gentlest possible way, why is the fact that you can't visibly prove anything a predicament? Do you want to leave him, and feel you need the visible evidence as a justification? Or is it something else? If you want to work things out with your husband, I think the fact that he will not apologise is very worrying - he doesn't seem to think that what he did was wrong.

Do you have support near you? Family or friends? Anyone who truly cares about you won't need to see a black eye to be supportive if you tell them about your situation. Is there someone you can confide in for support?

I frankly was thinking of leaving him before he hit me. It's why I was looking at getting back to work. I guess I want the justification so I can keep the house. Maybe that should be the least of my worries, but I'm going to be raising three kids and dammit I want the house. I don't feel like I need the justification to leave for me, but I do wish I had something to show people so they wouldn't think I was making it up.
I do have a great family close by. My mom has my oldest son camping this week, but my dad is close by and I have friends I can call. Thanks. :)

Is it an event or is it a pattern? - 15/06/2011 02:12:50 PM 435 Views
Have you been able to talk to him about the incident? - 16/06/2011 02:22:24 AM 415 Views
