Subject: I am a abuser.
No mistakes about it. I went to see a
councilor today and he said I was a controlling husband and on the verge
of being a physical abuser. I believe him. I am going to see him with my
wife every week. I will change and just happy that I never hit her but
also sad that I verbally abused her. I am going to change and win my
wives love back. I was so blind for two years and didn't know what I was
doing to her mentally. I pushed her away. But I will be back to her but
it will take some time. I am a fighter and I know the problem now I just
need to address it and with the help of god and loved ones I will do so.
Thanks you for your web page articles
Thank you for taking
the time to write.
Seeing the problem
is 50% of the solution. Stick with it; give it time; allow for setbacks;
you'll do it!
My very best wishes,

Without a doubt this is the most
important Web site I have ever visited. All the others are fluff and
marketing hoohaa. This site explained it all to me. Showed me
that I am not the problem. Gave me the reason to stand up and do my
best to
try and make the abuse stop. Saved me.

Dr. Irene,
Hello! I discovered your helpful Website about four months back.
And I cannot begin to tell you what a help it has been in my
troubled times. I am still fresh on the road of recovery, but have started
feeling more in control of my life and a little less confused.
I come from a family where my father has been extremely verbally abusive
towards my mother as long as I remember. Me and my brother grew up in such
an environment...which in no doubt, was so destructive towards our
mental development and thinking.
Two months back I broke three bones in my ankle and my mother had to come
and stay with me and take care of everything. During this period my father
did certain things which as always hurt my mother's feelings
terribly. But this time I had certain things to say to her (from what I
had read on your website), which helped to heal a little bit of her years
of bruised soul.
As you must have guessed this is a very long story but I hope it will have
a happy ending with our determined efforts towards recovery. In the end, I
would just like to say thank you for all your efforts.
Admirably
And, I'd like to thank you for taking
the time to let me know that you've put the site's info to good use!
Best wishes in your continued recovery, Dr. Irene |
