Please help and please be honest with me. I have endured a 15 year marriage that I believe was VERY abusive on the part of my soon to be ex-husband., but a problem that SEEMS unique to me (or are people just not admitting that they, themselves became abusive?) in reading all these posts - is that I was so verbally abused and provoked - that I, MYSELF became so enraged many times - that I tried to hit my husband, broke things and said things that I deeply regret. Has anyone here been abused to the point that you felt your own actions - when provoked - were shameful? I have no history of violence and/or any other kind of negativity - except in relation to my soon to be ex-husband. On my own for 3 weeks now, there's no emotional/verbal abuse on his part - and most importantly, no impulse to hit or throw anything!! Please be very honest with me and thanks in advance.

In response to
"My ex-husband was a coward..he would only physically abuse me when I was pregnant..although he was verbally abusive through out our relationship..I realized later afterwards it because I would fight back when I was not pregnant. The first time he back handed me, he got a left hook to the nose. I was too afraid to fight while carrying any one of my kids and he actually choked the hell out of me one time (I could see spots in front of my eyes.) But I manged to claw the hell out of him..It is because of being battered as a women and/or child that pushes some to fight back" Don't you find it odd that you weren't willing to fight for yourself, but WERE willing to fight for your child? There's a child that needs fighting for.. and that child is you.
