[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stop being dramatic. You are not losing her. She is just so tired of this horrible marriage. How long has she been living in that dysfunction? Why did it get so long to dissolve it? She is 14. Give her space. Let her be with her friends and go places without worrying about you two. Why is she caught between grown up people's problems? I lived years barely seeing my kids, because their well being was more important than me proving how great I am. My kids understand that I had to leave the abuser. Ex had some childhood trauma and maybe mental illness. Who knows. The older child had a chance to come with me, but since ex didn't take his anger out on him, he was fine at dad's house. I cannot even imagine how messed up my kids would be if they had to grow up witnessing him treating me like crap. They'd hate me for staying. I grew up like that. I hate my mother more than my father the abuser. My mom makes so many excuses for abusers like 'at least he didn't hit me in the face'. She normalizes men's behavior. It's like she grew up witnessing even worse and is fine making baby steps toward ending physical/mental abuse. This divorce is a blessing, not stress inducing at all unless you need it to be. You should be waltzing into courthouse. Concentrate on you getting better and stronger and be the role model you were suppose to be long ago. Why do you need someone who doesn't even work? You could be building wealth/health for you and your child instead of feeding the abuser. This poor child of yours being caught up in this all for years. Please turn it all around now. [/quote] Please get therapy. You desperately need it. [/quote]
