I've been trying to defend against a one- sided war with my ex for nearly two decades. I've watched my kids be emotionally abused, spiral horribly. Found out too late to do anything about it what was going on and how bad it was.
I've done everything I legally could to help them, but it didn't make much difference. I've given up everything I ever wanted to try to make up for the mistake of marrying that man. Now, I want nothing but death.
Every single day is an act of faith for me. I've wanted to beg God to grant me death, but I know I can't die until my youngest is 18. I have to hold on four more years, and then maybe my last wish will be granted.
That's horrible. A friend of mine went through this with his siblings too, so I recognize this problem very well. Are you in the US by any chance (and what state)?
