Yes, I left a verbal/emotional abusive marriage....
1) how? Well, I just did...I don't know how else to explain it. 2) When my 1 year old daughter was witnessing my ex husband yelling and cussing at me...and she yelled at him, "DADDY BE NICE TO MOMMY!" I knew then that I could allow my daughter to grow up thinking it was ok for a husband to treat her that way, and I didn't want my son (who I was pregnant with at the time) to grow up thinking it was ok to treat his wife like that. It was about 2 months later that I left. 3) Nope... my quality of life became OHHHH SOOOO MUCH BETTER! I did have to move in with my parents for a while, since I was pregnant, I couldn't get a job. My ex husband and I had owned a business together, so I didn't have a "job" to go back to. I was happier all around and within one year, I owned my own vehicle, owned my own home, had an excellent job, had my kids in a great daycare, and was able to completely provide. When I was with my ex, we barely scrapped by...he couldn't keep his hand outta the cookie jar. 4) Yep....my answer to number 2 explains that. 5) I don't think it helps or hurts....just a past time.
