[quote=Anonymous]OP here- Wow, these comments have all made me think. It's so HARD to think of myself as a victim and him as an abuser since our outward personalities, career success, and such don't seem to fit those labels. Maybe that's why I have trouble accepting it? His refrain is always, "People say mean things when they fight." At some point a few years ago, I realized that many of the things he would say to me went beyond typical mean comments. I would have left a long time ago, but we have kids who I know would be crushed. He is a great dad… which I sometimes feel is part of the problem. He focuses so much on them that he doesn't have time to focus on us. I've heard the argument that kids are better off with single parents than with parents who fight. That doesn't exactly fit us though since we typically put on a good act. [/quote]
