Thank you, all.
IWMB, I’m not that strong. He got arrested because someone else called the police and his bail conditions stipulate that he can’t contact me.
I think you just have to be ready to do this and I was ready. I just couldn’t go on living that way indefinitely. Like I’ve said on here before, I could cope with the physical abuse. It was the emotional abuse that got me. And there was never any affection to offset it by the end. But I never stoped loving him or wanting him to help him face his demons. He just saw no need to and I’m not sure that he ever will.
