[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm practically in the same boat, but I blocked my MIL because I don't need to hear her crap.

Also, my cheating narcissist has a bday this week. So, you know, we should all be kissing the ground he walks on all this week and last. [/quote]

Why do you ladies stay? I don’t understand how you can stay.  Is it you are afraid of being on your own? Lack confidence? I truly do not get it.[/quote]

For those who have children, we stay because we fear have to leave our children with the abusive man alone and him retaliating through them. If I had no children, I would have been gone a long time ago.[/quote]

+1.  The system doesn’t consider emotional abuse a type of abuse that has any legal consequences even though it is deeply psychologically damaging. The system doesn’t take into account physical abuse against the mother as a consideration in child custody.  The system will give 50/50 custody to a parent absent any hard evidence if serious physical or sexual abuse of the child.  You know that saying - “hold your friends close and your enemies even closer?”. That is often what we are doing in order to protect ourselves, particularly because the legal and social/cultural systems offer us no protection. [/quote]
