Friday morning my wife took our two kids and dissapeared while I was at work. That afternoon I got a call from my brother-in-law saying that basically she'd gone into hiding because she was scared of me and wanted to protect herself and the kids.
I was shocked since I didn't know this was a current issue. After suffering through the time following, I realize that it's a building up of all the things I've done over the years and it's just come to this now.
I sometimes get angry and 'loose it' and start yelling and freaking out. I haven't hurt my wife or children, but she's afraid that it will happen. I'm going to counseling and want with all my heart to get right, and she's going to counseling, maybe later we will go together.
What I want to know is - do a lot of domestic violence marriages reconcile, or are they generally a lost cause?
