[quote=Anonymous]What was helpful to me was the advice about documenting his abuse, tirades, etc.

Even if the lawyer or judge doesn't want to see it (because it's not physical abuse) it helped ME remember why I was so unhappy.  I just reread a few emails I sent myself last year and it was shocking to me some of the events I forgot because they had become so common.  Sure, I remember well his screaming at me in front of my mom and kids and bystanders at the mall because it was on my birthday.  I didn't remember how he'd screamed and cursed at me in front of the kids a week later, saying horrible things to me while I calmly looked at him.

It's so important to remember these times to keep your resolve to leave.  Leaving is going to be really, really hard for a few years and you'll need to remember that it was worth it because he was an abusive, cheating jerk.

I documented by sending myself emails describing events as they occurred (within a day) in dispassionate tones, including who witnessed the event, when it was, and what I said.[/quote]
