Abuse

» Jaytodd - apologies

I am writing this because my wife of nine years has left because of my verbal abuse. She told be she wanted a divorce and recommended I get help. I promptly went to a counselor and have been currently working on my own issues for two months now. I go through every day dealing with the guilt of my actions. I have read many of the postings on this site and feel ashamed of my own behaviors and the destruction I caused my wife and children. I am currently working with my counselor and a shelter to tell my story and make more people aware of the situation. I respect my wife for leaving me and have become somewhat thinkful. Abuse for me was like a drug fix, I would have a bad day or whatever and make it my wifes problem, even though she did everything she could to love me, I never allowed her to love me though. The more I abused her the more guilty I became, and the more I blamed her. It became a visous cycle. I thank God that I never abused my children or physically abused my ex-wife. I hope this provides something for this group.
