Enough w the dated books and list writing. 
Have a conversation with these lousy spouses on their actions.

This seems like a nice suggestion from someone who is not in an abusive relationship. The point is that conversation does not work with these men. They escalate, gaslight, and sometimes HURT OR KILL their partners when confronted. OP, I'm sorry you are going through this and hope you've found some solidarity on the thread. I echo that keeping a journal can be helpful - if only to remind yourself in the future of how bad things were.[/quote]

I confronted my abusive exDH after more years than I want to admit and after promising myself I wouldn’t so he wouldn’t turn on the kids. He immediately turned on the kids once I did so- literally that the same day. DC #1 stood up for themselves. DH moved out the next day and then filed for divorce.

It has not been pretty since then and I don’t know which path would have been safer for my kids. I do know that there is a kind of abuser that doubles down on their abuse when a mirror is held up to them and they see what they have done, and when the abuse isn’t tolerated they push it from person to person until they run out of victims.
