[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Funny, DH here who was accused of all of this by XW and more - little of it was true.  Was I a saint, not at all but she claimed she was abused by me as well.  Seven years later the older kids moved in with me (rarely talk to her) and the younger ones can't wait.   XW plays the victim card like Kathy Griffin and Hillary Clinton, never taken even a little blame for why the relationship failed.  Always two sides to the story OP.[/quote]

There are not two sides to abuse.  No spouse ever deserves to be hit, yelled at, threatened or cheated on.  I don't care how terrible a relationship is, there is no justification for these behaviours.

That you would suggest that OP, who mentioned having an alcoholic husband who cheated on her and continued to lie about the infidelity in therapy, is somehow responsible for these behaviours (i.e. alcoholism and infidelity) is reprehensible victim-blaming.  When you victim-blame, you support and perpetuate abuse.

Good for you, OP, for getting out and thank you for sharing.  It is inspirational.[/quote]

When my XW hit me, threw things or screamed at me, I didn't play the victim card and call it abuse.  I removed myself from the situation so it wouldn't escalated.  That's the difference.[/quote]

Then why do you sound like an angry victim?

Wah... wifey told lies
Wah... wifey hit me
wah, wah, wah

Stop playing the victim and move on with your life. [/quote]

Don't you worry honey, I have long moved on!  I am pointing out that there are always to sides to a story, which noticed on DCUM rarely mentions.[/quote]
