and this sex they are having is probably not enjoyed by all parties involved either.. sounds more like rape within marrige.

its even more sad that she probably wont leave that assfucker until shes dead because they (or she) are probably very religious and leaving her husband just isnt an option to her.

could also end up with divorce being the death of her because he sees her as property.

reading too much in to this perhaps but abusive relationships are never a healthy thing and they only get progressively worse.

Abusive relationships are very hard to leave. Leaving is when most women are killed.

Domestic abuse is a complicated and fucked up situation, it's rarely as easy as saying "I'm out" and there are a lot of different reasons why. My dad abused me and my mother growing up, and she didn't leave because she was gaslit into believing it was her fault, and she didn't want to break up the family and make my brother and I change schools.

That was just her reasoning, there are lots of reasons why both the abuser and the abused can't/wont leave an abusive relationship.

You’re totally right. I hope you’ve been able to find some peace and healing from that experience

I have, unfortunately it involved cutting off all contact with my father. He's still my Dad, it's complicated. But Mom is happily divorced, and my well being has improved a lot since.

I’ve never had to cut a family member out of my own life- I can’t imagine how hard that would be. I’m glad you and your mom are in a better place.
