Is Fear Keeping You In An Abusive Marriage? How You Can Escape
Copyright (c) 2005-2023 Cathi Adams
I was recently taking in a horror movie with my son when he suddenly made an amazing remark, "It's not so scary anymore, because we've seen the killer." How true that statement is in every aspect of life. True horror and real fear is really the fear of the unknown. The less we know about the thing we fear, whatever it is, the scarier it is. This seems to be the main secret that those folks who make horror movies use so effectively.
Which is exactly the situation facing so many unfortunate women today. There are so many married women facing this fear that the odds are high that you who is reading this article, could be one of them. You may be one of those unfortunate women stuck in an abusive marriage mainly because of fear. Understandably you find it difficult to get out, because while you are terrified about the abuse and violence, you are actually more terrified of the "unknown" situation of being out of that marriage and having to go through divorce proceedings. Your fear of this unfamiliar situation far outweighs your fear of abuse. And sadly, for this reason you continue to stay despite the abuse and violence.
Actually by staying in a violent and abusive marriage, you are endangering your very life, as chances are that one of these days, it could easily end up in tragic consequences for you.
Making the effort to get some knowledge on divorce and what you can do to ensure that you do not leave your abusive marriage with scars that extend to your financial situation could be the beginning of real freedom for you.
You do not have to risk your life in an abusive marriage anymore if you can gain enough knowledge about how to secure the next stage of your life. This is the knowledge that will free you from the fear of the unknown that is keeping you in a marriage that you really should have gotten out of a long time ago.
You will quickly learn that there is really nothing to be so frightened about and that when you learn a few important facts you suddenly find yourself with many more realistic options and possibilities. Knowledge is indeed awesome power.

One of the most painful aspects of divorce is how to tell the
children that Mommy and Daddy will not live together anymore.
Children are the innocent victims when a marriage falls apart.
Your feelings toward your soon-to-be-ex may be bitter and even
vengeful. Your children's feelings are not the same. Daddy is
still Daddy, no matter what. Your children have every right to
love each parent unconditionally. Even though that marriage ends,
the family you created is forever. Your ex will forever be tied
to you through the children.

Lisa knew that something had changed with her husband. He was
working longer hours, was tense and showed little interest in her
or the children's activities. She never suspected her husband,
who was a leader in their place of worship and community, would
be unfaithful. She was blindsided when her husband came home one
night and said he wanted a divorce because he had fallen in love
with another woman.

When it comes to marriage, a woman never dreams of the worst case
scenarios. The dream-like qualities of a 'Happily Ever After'
life keep all the negative outcomes pushed well back in her mind.
However, divorce is becoming much more common as the years pass.
It isn't unusual for a woman to find herself 5 years, 10 years
or even 15 years into a marriage, only to be faced with
separation and, eventually, divorce.

Mothers know best, so they say, but when a woman is going through
a divorce, it takes more than 'mum' to lend a helping hand. In
fact some women say that when their marriages are in trouble,
they don't necessarily turn to their mothers for counselling.
They would much rather seek the advice of a marriage therapist or
advisor because they seek independent insight and opinion on why
their marriages are about to crumble.

If a woman is not physically or sexually abused by her husband,
people generally conclude there is no abuse. But women should
give this question more serious thought. Abuse need not be
verbal, physical or sexual. These types of abuse are sufficient
grounds to head straight for the divorce courts because a
physically or sexually abusive partner needs professional help.

sends an eMail message to the eGroup address, it
is automatically sent to everyone else on the

the ability to join in at your convenience as

When did Americans stop taking responsibility for their own
actions? My friend agreed
that the slide began in the late 1960's with the growth of the
drug culture.
But he was quick to emphasize that although the sixties began
the slide, the real sharp slope did not arrive until the 1990's.
Along about 1993, the slide began to sharpen. It was not until
early 1998 that the slope became a steep cliff.

thread counts of up to 1000 are advertised these days.. So what
