I have a bad marriage. I am being abused, mistreated, disrespected, and letting my husband control everything. I have been dealing with this for the last eight years or so. When is it ever going to be enough? When will I ever get enough courage to leave? I know I deserve a lot better and that I can’t go through life like this, but for some reason I just stick around, deal with it, and let him do these awful things. I guess I’m afraid of going to divorce court because I don’t want him to think its all bull because one time I had tried to talk to him about why I am unhappy and he thought I was full of it. Another reason why I think I can’t get the courage is because I will have to move back in with my parents and I really don’t want to do that. I guess it’s because I think I am a little too old to be crashing with mom and pop.
