Right now we're going through a domestic violence situation, but neither of us want to divorce. My husband was the one that went to jail. Anyway, I'm getting desparate, and as well I'm new here I thought maybe some of you could tell which threads to go to, as well can someone clue me into what your acronyms are??? I've read through some of the threads, and a lot of the abbreviations.........I have no clue. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Thanks in advance.

I read the welcome page, and realized that was an issue, however I NEED to be here as I need support. I don't know what to discuss, but for the most part I'm concerned for my husband, and I just want him to get help. I know you can lead a horse to water...............I know the rest. Like I said, I'm new here so hopefully you guys can help guide me, but I'm really just looking for support. I don't have to discuss "everything", know what I mean? I've been married for 7 years, and I just feel exhausted. Thank you in advance for your input, I truly appreciate it. Last edited by kiwiqueen; 10/31/05 03:37 PM.

Does he realize there IS a problem? Or does he give excuses for his behavior? Will he go to counseling for anger management?
