[quote=Anonymous]This has happened to someone very close to me. Prior to watching this up close I would have said no, vows are vows etc. That was a bunch of unrealistic romantic idiocy on my part. Now all of us who are close are desperate for her to leave him. His anger over his chronic illness has made him abusive. He screams at her if she doesn't jump when he says jump. Her children are traumatized from living with a father who has no ability to control his anger. She is exhausted all the time from doing literally everything. If she stays with him, I think he may outlive her because the stress of living with him is making her ill. After living this closely for years (including caring for their kids to get them away from their ill father for periods of time, to give them breaks), my own DH and I have talked about it and we have essentially given each other exit options if we get in the same position. I would never want to put my DH through what I have seen.[/quote]
