I stayed with my daughter's dad for 10 years!! I held on because I thought I was doing the right thing..........you know......keeping the "family" together?? The last night I was with him.........he held a gun to my head. I put him in prison and never looked back.
It started out as verbal........mental......and escallated into one hell of a nightmare physically. He raped me, beat me, threw me out of a moving car.........you name it. Trying to hold it together for the sake of my daughter..............I was so wrong and am so glad I FINALLY got out.
