This is a very difficult question to ask. I have a grown daughter who will be soon twenty five years old. I am divorced now for three years. My marriage was very bad. Much abuse. Excess drinking on my ex-husband’s part. On top of that his family had incest in it and excess drinking and many many odd behaviors my ex-husband carried into our marriage.
Big question why did I stay? Who knows. Wrong for sure. But I finally did get a divorce. My daughter had told me this after I had my ex-husband leave plus told two girlfriends of hers that she thought he tried something on her. She remembers he did expose himself to her. And she was right. I saw him when he was drunk. He claimed it was an accident. I believed him of course. Dumb me. I know. But, at the time she never said anything about sexual abuse and he never acted like that.
After she said this I went and called him and he denied it. He called her. She then said if I ever said anything again I don’t have a daughter. Then he hired her to work for him. He owns a company. I was so upset I tried to kill myself. We all sound nuts I know. But, now I am well. I think. I actually wrote a booklet about abuse. My daughter who went to school to become a nurse LPN quit nursing works with my ex and won’t talk about the abuse.
She is so happy I wrote this booklet and was very sad I did not dedicate it too her. I don’t understand. I grew up with my ex-husband’s cousins and they just told me that his brother tried to molest them. His brother has been dead now for many years.
To tell you how weird this family is. When I was married to him. You know how most husbands, and fathers have pictures of their children and wives in their office?
His mother sent him two pictures of his two brothers, very very large ones. One of them has been dead for twenty years and the other one is alive and special ed. He has them hanging still in his office and no pictures of his children. Nor when he was married to me of me.
