[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe he doesn't realize what he is doing. Get some counseling before it is too late.[/quote]

Do not get counseling with him. He can get counseling independently, and so can you. NOT TOGETHER. Couples counseling is not advised in situations of abuse because it provides the abuser tools with which to further abuse the victim, all while saying they are trying to fix things. Please seek counseling for YOU op, I did when I was leaving/after I left and it was extremely helpful.[/quote]

I am PP who posted about womanslaw.org site. I agree with this advice 1000%. First, my XH was completely dishonest and presented himself as very loving and caring in front of therapist. Second, he manipulated her and the situation with lies. And finally this all cost money (babysitting and therapist dollars) and time in which the abuse continued. I wish I had used that money to help squirrel away a larger nest egg for when my DS and I ended up having to make it on our own.[/quote]
