Wow, it is amazing how people can't calmly disagree

the saddest thing for my situation is that my family (all women) are known jokingly as "man haters"...because they've never met one who was a good enough person to make them believe otherwise

then there was my H....they all thought he was the exception....and they let him know it!

so now.....he's prooven to be worse than anyone they've ever seen

they all think he's always been this way and had us all fooled...it would be a hard sell to convince them otherwise...and they DON'T believe he can ever be that man again

on my part....my H family just forgot about me

he left in april....no contact from any of his family....2 months later on my birthday....no cards, no calls, nothing....for the first time in 17 years


it's so hard to believe that he has destroyed so much

Thanks for your input, everyone. The effects of an A are far-reaching, and when your family is close, it's quite devastating. Thanks for giving me hope that the damage to the extended unit can be fixed.

BTW, in my defense, sfjaj, I wasn't indiscriminate in who I told about my WH's actions. For a start, we're migrants, and our extended family unit in the country is quite small. And while I have told everyone here that my WH is having an A, I have only told the most painful details of what he's done and said to my sister. My sister may have told her H and my niece (whom I am very close to), but that's it.

RiverTam, I'm sorry if I gave the impression that I was judging your decision. That was precisely my point; you had to decide your comfort level. I was just providing one perspective. I hope things go well for you.
