[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow.  This brings so many memories for me of seeing my mom be emotionally abused by my dad.  You need to get out now, before your little girl can be anymore scarred by this.[/quote]

+1.  I totally got it when my parents divorced, and it was like a huge weight had been lifted.  It took a while for us to recover but living 'independently' with my mom was an empowering way to grow up.  She eventually remarried and modeled a much healthier relationship.[/quote]

This is OP. Do you mind sharing how old you were when your parents divorced? Or how young these memories go back?[/quote]

I was 17-18 when they finally separated and got divorced (and it was messy- I mean my mom had to get a restraining order to get my father to even leave the house, she was a sahm so had no way of moving out herself).  I have memories and issues Darin back to probably around age 4.  My little siblings, who saw less of my father growing up because he got a job overseas, have way less intimacy issues than me, but we are all messed up because of it. My mom really regrets not getting a divorce earlier because then she could have met someone else when she was younger, and I'll admit I resent her for not doing the same.  So many times in my life were ruined by my fathers anger and caprice and it seems downright tragic to me that we suffered for that long.  And of course, it has taken me painful years of therapy and failed relationships to even start working through all the self esteem and anger issues he has given me. [/quote]
