Re: The screams that nobody hears
"..Although my children and I will be penniless, I can deal with that far, far better than the distrust and lack of respect and erratic behavior that has worsened..."
Yep..therein lyes the truth of what we are feeling. One can go insane with distrust and abuse...yes its emotional abuse. One may find if your head doesn't do it your body will start doing telling you you're being violated or abused.
I would cry in front of my ex as she went out on her date (stop it we're only shopping ..at 1130pm?).. she didn't care. I would then shake with trauma at the violation of trust and friendship...the discard.
Someone that loves you does not do this..especially if you say your hurt.
