Let see....I was in a relationship with a man for 10 years. Out of those 10 years I spent half of that hiding my scars from my family. He was a man that was intimidated by my annual income...so he would choke me everytime I got paid to let me know he was the man of the house. He would unfaithful to me in my face...in our home and bed. If I would get ill he would be beat me and say he was beating the illness out. I always cook,cleaned,worked and took care of the children by myself. He took his paychecks and bought video games or movies. I wasn't allowed to look talk or speak to other people if he was around, it was a sign of disrespect. If I decided to wake up one morning and just beautify myself (wear lip gloss and a nice summer dress with sandals), I was accused of cheating and would get jumped on. I was beaten for buying me a truck because I was tired of me and my children having to catch the bus in the winter (It gets pretty cold up north).
Thank you for sharing your story with me. What you went through was terrible and I am glad you were able to get out of that relationship.
