A friend called last night... she is in divorce proceedings. Her H has had an A and has also been emotionally and physically abusive. He hasn't "HIT" her in a year, because she called the police the last time.
They still live together for financial reasons. Sleeping seperately, of course. She is in school, almost finished, and he is helping with the kids. He is still verbally abusive, IMHO. (I have not and will not tear this guy down in front of her... I only want to encourage her to do what is right for her family.) I can't even believe I (of all people) am in this position!!
She called last night crying, and just needing to talk. She discovered yesterday, by snooping and she admitted that she should not have done that, that WH's A had been going on for much longer, that he is still seeing OW, but flat denys it to her face. Now, she is (I think) angry and not wanting to trust him with other issues, like whether he is properly caring for the kids, etc...
She is going to be visiting family for a couple of weeks for the holidays and will be away from him and out of town. I would like to send something away with her, to read, to be encouraged by, whether it is a book, or copies of articles from this website....
COuld you wonderful people help out!! I will probably be meeting her around lunch time today!! Sorry for the short notice! But y'all have been great!!
