Yes, like MissFixit, my STBXAH lied and continues to lie. He also kept everything I own. Everything.
I was also going to go back to school, I was in school when we met and married. Instead I took care of him while he was desperately ill. Did he ever offer to pay a dime on my student loans that came up due since I was out of school so long taking care of him and his home? No , and I begged, nothing.
My STBXAH is very very sick, but he's also scum. The alcohol doesn't get all the blame here, nor does his obvious mental illness. He chose to be abusive.
