My life is completely turned upside down. After almost fifteen years of marriage, I finally realized what a jerk I have married. I have made a decision to leave this marriage, I just can’t let him know. Not that I don’t want to, but when I asked for a divorce two years ago, he went nuts. I wound up getting wine thrown in my face, and then he busted me in the mouth. His temper has always been bad, but I never thought he would stoop to hitting me. But he did, and threw me out of the house. I stayed with friends for awhile, the only thing I took with me was a few clothes and my dog. That’s another thing that was always on my mind. Several years back, he bought me German shepherd pup. When he was six months old, I happened to look out the back yard and saw my husband sitting on my dog and beating him in the head with his fists. The only way I could get him off was to bodily jump on him. I took the pup inside, put his leash on him, and was going to take him back. I went to get my shoes and keys and when I came back in to get the pup he stated to me that I was not going anywhere with him. That is an image that will remain in my mind forever. What kind of a person would do such a thing. The puppy was big but he was only six months old! I am a huge animal lover.
Since that day I lost all respect for this person who calls himself a man. I have been putting aside money that he doesn’t know I have and I intend to get away from here soon. I can’t keep living with this fear and his constant drinking. I did leave before and of course like a dummy he talked me into coming back. I won’t make the same mistake twice.
Several years later, I was in the hospital and he went and bought an Airedale puppy. Said we needed to have another dog. I was scared for the puppy, but I didn’t know where he bought him. This dog was going to be large, and large he was. He topped off at 103 pounds. As time passed, I became more and more attached to him. But constantly worried that he was going to be a victim.
