[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only thing you should be ashamed about is that you reference graduating from high school as if that's impressive when you have post-grad degrees. Which is irrelevant - people of all stations in life get abused, OP. A degree does not keep someone from having a temper or being at the wrath of someone else's temper. [/quote] This is OP. I was typing very quickly as I was late to pick up my children, and did not express/elaborate on my thought very well. The incident that happened is something that I have seen on TV but have never experienced. Intellectually, I know that people from all walks of life can be involved in abusive relationships. I have simply never seen or experienced it anywhere outside of this relationship. I feel like I should have the inner strength to have prevented allowing the situation (and when I say situation, I mean the cumulative events of the marriage) to escalate to the most recent breaking point. At the moment, I felt like my life had degenerated into an episode of COPS or Jerry Springer. I brought up the high school because I attended an all-girls school where women were pushed to excel and where I did excel. I can't imagine any of my former classmates allowing something like this to happen to them. Maybe it has and I don't know. Maybe others are as good as putting up the front that I have put up for years to hide what was happening from others and from myself. [/quote]
