[quote=Anonymous]My husband had a horrible childhood, full of addiction and abuse (his stepdad lost his job when the kids were young, so he would get drunk and beat the crap out of them). I was very concerned when my husband told me, because I was afraid he will succumb to it and do the same/take it out on our future kids. However, still decided to go for it, because of how mentally strong he was.

20 years later, we are both successful professionals with kids. He turned out to be a great dad and father. However, again, he is mentally very strong, his siblings took a good 15 years to get their lives together.

I was angry at my MIL, who allowed all of this to happen, until I realized she did not have many options at the time. It was either abuse or going hungry. I would not have made her choices, but my husband forgave her, so I figured if he could so could I, so I followed his lead.

We do not tell people any of this, because we don't want anyone looking down at my husband or his mom for that matter.[/quote]
