[quote=Anonymous][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]

Don’t they act this way before you get pregnant? Have multiple DCs? Why have children with someone who emotionally abuses you and why have more than one? Also, by the time the kid is a tween they can testify as to the abuse and preference ...so why stay then? [/quote]
