In my marriage, I experienced a very slow, subtle increase in controlling behavior by my husband, which escalated into more overt verbal/emotional abuse and then, finally, sexual and physical abuse.<br /><br />I got out. It took me 15 years to see what was happening and to find the courage to get out, but I did get out. <br /><br />I've started a series in my blog, to start chronicling my experiences, starting with the night of my wakeup call. <br /><br />Here's the info:<br /><br />Facade: A Story of Abuse, part 1<br /><br />http://singlemomchronicles.blogspot.com/2011/05/facade-story-of-abuse-part-1_20.html<br /><br /><br />This blog entry is the beginning of a series about my experiences with domestic abuse. It starts with my marriage - the point when I "woke up" to what was happening. <br /><br />It's a long story - I don't know how many parts there will be. I am trying to write each entry as "stand-alone" as possible. <br /><br />My goal is to show that domestic abuse can affect anyone. It's not limited by race, region, or socio-economic status. And often, the victims are those women who seem so confident, so successful, and seem to "have it all".TheSingleMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10496291078187235315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721768745624158550.post-70265059068425268572010-05-17T09:43:42.301-07:002010-05-17T09:43:42.301-07:00I loved this interview, it's so raw and it get...I loved this interview, it's so raw and it gets you emotionally. Kristy, is so brave to have gone what she has gone through. Thank you both so much for sharing, both the interview and the story. <br /><br />if you're at all interested, I'm writing a fictional story called the Chronicles of Flora, please if any of you have time, please read! :) <br /><br />http://thechroniclesofflora.blogspot.com/asdfjklasdfjka;sdfjkla;sfdjkal;dfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203619901936823618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721768745624158550.post-86458196013468172782010-05-11T05:30:44.134-07:002010-05-11T05:30:44.134-07:00Kirsty, if you are reading these comments, i think...Kirsty, if you are reading these comments, i think you are an extremely brave and amazing person to have gone through what you did as a child. I recently turned 18 and girls at my school keep asking me why i havnt gone and gotten drunk yet. I dont see any point in having so much alcohol that you make stupid mistakes and have things to regret and i think the interview helped me to realise this even more :) <br /><br />thanks nick for this blog post :)eff_92https://www.blogger.com/profile/10404650701099686413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1721768745624158550.post-41039672780785797362010-05-09T06:00:01.564-07:002010-05-09T06:00:01.564-07:00Good topic.. and very brave of Kirsty to reveal so...Good topic.. and very brave of Kirsty to reveal so much.. all i would add is to fellow readers.. being young and partying can be a lot of fun.. but suddenly years can go by and you find your still drinking alot and then you have a problem without even realising it.. drinking and drugs start out as fun.. and thats why its so easy to fall into..<br />take care out there..<br /><br />=]Anthony J.
