She had suffered a stroke. My guess was it was from one of the times he was beating her head into the floor. Funny thing about it was my boyfriend never told me about the abuse. HIS MOM DID. The husband's brother was also an abuser. I believe the mom was trying to warn me. There were a few times when he had too much to drink (or drugs?) and he scared the crap out of me. Glad to have gotten away from that scene. I can totally see how it would be hard to make that break sometimes, though.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00255686424178324749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2341072765399854915.post-76314053725908046892010-05-06T12:50:47.608-07:002010-05-06T12:50:47.608-07:00I was in a heinously abusive marriage for 15 yrs, ...I was in a heinously abusive marriage for 15 yrs, and after I left I kept hearing "what took you so long?" Well, like you said, that's the way I thought marriage was supposed to be. That everything was my fault made sense to me. In addition to the fact that he would tell me in horrendous detail what he would do to me if I ever tried to leave.<br /><br />I broke the cycle. Now my two daughters and I are in healthy, loving relationships.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02293171530002530817noreply@blogger.com
