I guess what I am really feeling is humiliation. Even if people have been through the same thing I still don't want anyone to know it. My husband would like me to socialize with AA friends. When I know he has talked about everything he has done to me, I feel humiliated. I feel people are thinking how stupid and weak I was to put up with things he has done. How do you socialize with people when you don't feel like a person around them? I guess even at the meetings or here to really tell all just makes me feel humiliated. If I can keep it hidden then I guess it seems like it didn't really happen. Ech!
