Are You Running From the Truth?

[@mimimonster]

To the woman whose husband is emotionally and verbally abusive and breaks things: My 3 siblings and I were raised by a father that sounds identical to her husband. We are 4 grown adults who have been TRAUMATIZED by what we went through. We have all been in therapy and have anxiety disorders and suffered from depression and self-esteem issues. So much of what we deal with is directly related to our dad’s verbal and emotional abuse. It has followed us into our adult relationships. And on top of it, we RESENT our father for what he did to our mother who is a doormat. He STILL treats her this way and it makes us sick. Do not do to your children what our mom did to us bc she couldn’t leave. Please spare your children of a life of witnessing verbal and emotional abuse bc it will emotionally and mentally damage them in ways that will follow them FOREVER. God bless you. I hope you can leave. Love yourself and your kids more than the abuser. ❤ Your children are worth safety and so are you. Your husband will one day rip up things your children make for him and it doesn’t get more emotionally and psychologically damaging than that.

[@silvesan9162]

My heart breaks for you and your siblings. My sibling and I experienced similar...we also bear physical scars. We did therapy and find that talking with each other and supporting each others cooing strategies has helped. Praying for and your siblings.

David knows what’s better for him than his parents. He can apologize for lying but not for choosing differently for himself. An ounce of bravery will get his integrity intact. Good luck.

[@brightpage1020]

For the woman whose husband has ran around on her and hosted sex parties in their home that got circulated on the net - he isn’t worth the benefit of the doubt. He hasn’t earned that. He has put your body and your family at potentially very serious risks. He earned only doubt, suspicion, and repulsion. Your family requires safety, sanity, stability that he chose to put on the line. Shame on him.

[@brightpage1020]

Thank you, Dr. Deloney, for saying “Let’s not give him the benefit of the doubt.” You raised a sword for this woman who needs protection for her family, needed it from someone who couldn’t or wouldn’t provide it, in fact betrayed them.

It’s time for David to live his life and his dreams. I’m wondering if David is Asian, because the pressure he feels reminds me of my Asian friends and their family pressure to live for the “family” and the picture the family wants to present to the public. I’m so proud of David for working and providing for himself. The book dr. John mentioned by Lindsay C Gibson is amazing; a must read for adult children of emotionally immature parents 🔥

[@vivianworden]

That immature parents book isn't going to work when its an ethnic thing. David is either Asian or Indian

[@keard558]

He is definitely Asian. And that book can help. "Being well cared for in non-emotional areas can create confusion in people who grow up feeling emotionally lonely. They have overwhelming physical evidence that their parents loved and sacrificed for them, but they feel a painful lack of emotional security and closeness with their parents."

[@peterlee584]

That's what I'm thinking too. It sounds like a cultural thing.

[@fire12731]

Very interesting with David and I think too this is culturally - related. David says He didn’t want to be a doctor. I know many Asian families for whom this is true that the parents make the kids fulfill “ their “ dreams.

[@debbielockhart7762]

I would say being from Vancouver, he is almost 100% likely to be either Indian or Chinese as they have a huge Asian population in Vancouver (I'm from Vancouver Island - so very close to Vancouver).

The woman whose husband is breaking things is experiencing abuse. If their anger is so uncontrolled they’re regularly breaking things, they won’t stop at items.

[@beastshawnee]

to the Last woman caller…- when you say “he’s generally a really nice guy…” and “it’s just these episodes.” Pause and reframe this. There is a word for this type of temper-tantrum person-COVERT narcissist. You see-You have it backwards. The “episodes” ARE his true self. The “nice guy”part IS THE MASK. So even tho 95% of the time he seems like a great guy-that’s the COVERT part. At his deepest center is an angry toddler who inly ever wants his way, thinks everyone else is an idiot and is willing to destroy YOU by wrecking your things. We know he gets physical too-You have to admit it-not to us but to your loved ones who will watch out for you generally. Thing is,..He will destroy your kids, I promise you. My Dad was like this. I barely made it out alive and I am not speaking metaphorically. He tried to murder me multiple times, also held the family at gunpoint raging that he would kill us all and then himself. No one knew. My mom wouldn’t tell anyone. Wouldn’t admit her marriage was a “ mistake”. She is elderly and has not one of her kids who fully love her even. We all have resentments of how she just stood around while we got beaten daily. She became the one to try and blame us…”You shouldn’t push his buttons! You KNOW how he is.” Yeah-and we tried to avoid him but it was impossible. I hated him, I hated my childhood. I’d rather have been aborted that live thru 17 years of insanity not feeling worthy of being protected. And of course when I was 18-it was “you’re grown- get out and make your own money-pay us rent and food $ if you come back. And I spent 50 years trying to fix my family. Before realizing It was never gonna happen and I couldn’t even be around my parents. Your situation is not my situation for sure. My dad was a total pschyopath. My mom became his enabler, his connection for approval and attention. He was a rager at all of us but never hit her-just us. She became nearly as guilty as him by this wanting to see him as a poor, damaged, wounded dog. She was gonna stay and “Help” him, get over that. He went thru counseling and eventually just conned the last counselor who agreed with him that he was a “nice guy”. Did he tell the counselor that he held me over cliff edges as a baby? Threatening to drop me? Did he say he had wrecked 7 cars ? 5 by driving me alone in front of incoming cars at stop lights? Did he admit the suffocations and the drowning attempts? All the covert sneakiness involved in these action whilst appearing such a nice guy? Sadly people LOVED my Dad. “He’s such a great guy!” And he was. To them as a mask so no one else would ever see his basic evil toddler self. Very few saw it-if ever. I was more mature thinking and acting than he was when I was 4 years old, YOUR kids are not gonna be safe, BE careful leaving. Don’t meet up alone to get a last quick box or nothing. Women are more than 800% more likely to be murdered when entering or leaving a relationship and it’s even higher when pregnant-which you are! That’s the real statistic- you can look it up. I did.

[@janevarley8482]

Stacy, you got some fantastic advice here. I went through almost an identical experience. I’m ten years on. You will not only survive but thrive. Be grateful that you have money! I know women whose husbands burned through all their joint savings to fund other women. You have time to start again. I still mourn the dream, the old age we were supposed to have. I will never forgive him for blowing up our family. His selfish desires caused so much pain for my two children. But I truly believe that children only need one sane parent. I will say a prayer for you. Listening to you brought back a lot of memories for me. I absolutely promise you that you will be ok. And don’t date right now, you need to heal. Like John says, get a support group and stop keeping your ex-husband’s secrets. What is done in the dark will come into the light, tell him that if he complains!

[@brennanleyen]

Fantastic advice and holding space for your callers. I can totally relate to both female callers. I am so sorry that small, immature, lying men wreak so much havoc in families. The caller with the sex addict husband was right- her children’s innocence has been affected. Sarah, the pregnant amazingly strong and capable woman needs a long plan. I’m so glad she has support. She is going to need it. That MIL is a piece of work. Best of luck to all of them. 🤗 I survived DV and had a 3 year escape plan. It worked and my small children are safe.

For the last caller, it was like listening to my former self. A safety plan, just in case,will help initially. Open a bank account separate from where you bank with him. Consider taking your family up on their offer of a place to stay. Don't be embarrassed! You have not done anything wrong. The Sherrif's department can help you too, even be there if you decide to leave or help you with a more detailed plan. It doesn't matter you haven't been hit yet, you feel threatened and for good reason. I know it's hard to make that call. My former husband was high up with Dept of Crime Control so I truly understand your situation. There is peace on the other side of this. Get yourself help and you and your children a safe home. You are much stronger than you think. I don't usually comment, but my heart goes out to you. I'm glad you called John. Major first step, you told some one.

I can so relate to Stacy... Similar happened to me 20 years ago. It left me with mental health issues that would come up every few years...

I pray practicing integrity daily will deepen and improve his relationships, especially the one he has with himself.

That includes honesty to ourselves. Best of luck to this brave young man.

Stacy- i’ve been in a similar circumstance, living in a lie of another’s creation for over 15 years. When it finally blew up and I could take no more, she even left her child with me and his bio father to raise. At 45 I started to rebuild and it’s a long struggle to trust and forgive yourself for being in a one-sided, manipulative relationship. do your best to protect the kids. You seem extremely sincere and working hard to do the right heathy things. It’s OK to make mistakes along the way. There is no great manual of life that covers these crazy almost unbelievable circumstances of life.

Wow! This is for Stacy. Thank you for your courage🙏 While we all have our own journey with it's unique story, I so relate to you. I am late 50's, in the midst of a divorce from a 35 year marriage. I am also disabled, though I've reached a point I can work a (very) few hours a week. Those hours are savue for my soul. I tried keeping things private as well. Big mistake! My entire personal life, friends, church, etc. were completely tied to my marriage. I'm left out in the cold because no one understands the extent of the lies and betrayal. Don't do that to yourself. I could go on and on. Please hang in there. You will find yourself, your purpose, your footing again. This may end up being the biggest blessing you could have ever been given, even if you can't see that far yet. Prayers for you and your children. ❤

[@firststar2]

Poor kid. It was always my parents dream for me to become a doctor. After 2 years or pre med and shadowing, i realized it wasnt for me. I told them i was changing my major and moved on. My parents continued to lie to friends and family members that i was in school to be a doctor or is already a doctor. I didnt want the pressure of living a lie, so If i was around, i will correct them, and my mom would get so angry that i embarrassed her. it was easier for her to tell people that i was in the "streets " than to accept i had a regular job. Made it seem i was on drugs and hoeing out there. It made her look like a victim and people can hold her hands and pray. Now they wonder why i have such a bad reputation. If you dont have parents like this kid, you wouldn't get why he lied for 5yrs

[@brightpage1020]

Sarah from Richmond, There are too many women joining you as abuse victims these days. I’m so so so heartbroken and sorry you are among them, and so scared for you and your family… like shaken on your behalf… and I pray you get a safety plan. It’s called a safety plan… it includes an exit. And I thank God that there are more resources available these days for women stuck in this. Still not enough, but at least more awareness is growing and more support… Please please please take it. Run with it. Away from him. You don’t need to tell him again. He knows. I’m scared if you wait until “it happens again” then any next time it could be your last. Being pregnant you have a moral, and depending on your state laws, potentially a legal responsibility to that developing child and your other children if not yourself. Please take that seriously. Please. For your own sake and especially theirs. Even if he doesn’t hurt your baby inside or your children, the stress of dealing with abuse is effecting their development negatively. It already is. You are mature enough to be aware of it, and that it’s wrong. You gotta accept help to get up and out… because he can’t. Or won’t. You staying is trying to manage and control him, but abuse is unpredictable by definition. It depends on the element of surprise and shock and intimidation to succeed. It feeds the cycle of abuse with those lulls into submission that illusory safety. If he keeps abusive, threatening people in his life, let that be his problem. I feel sorry for them - but from a safe distance for me. I pray you do the same. Let me tell you - I have 3 plus a bonus child. Even in healthy relationships, any number of kids over 2 gets unmanageable because you are outnumbered. It challenges the strongest marriages… But in a marriage of abuse… it can get even scarier. For all of you. And you have enough on your plate. You need folks in your life who lift you up, not break you down. Strong, healthy, appropriate ones. Qualified helpers like pro counselors lawyers and psychologists or whatever. At least 1 of each. This isn’t who he wants to be. But it’s who he is. The longer you help him deny it by staying, the longer it goes on and worse it gets. Your leaving might even help pull him out and up. But you can’t hang your hat on that. For now, you have to spread out depending on him to depending on others who are safe for your family. Go there. With them. Find out if it brings him up later, once you’re settled into safety for an extended period of time like 6 months to a year. Then, see. And expect him to rage when he find out you’re not coming back. Or you changed the locks. Expect that reaction. Expect more destruction. So do it in safety. With strong safety measures around you, especially if he’s connected with local LE. Get to a family members’ house for a few days outside that town and let their PD know what’s up, just in case. I don’t know but professional counselors do. Listen to them. They’ve coached people through this before and will understand your local system. I can pray for you and your growing children. I wish you a better life. - and soon! Praying for you!

[@tinam761]

I gave my ex so many chances because he was tired … he was stressed… it’s the holidays so bad timing… it’s my kids birthday… so bad timing… my counselor AND marriage counselor eventually had an intervention with me … I STILL DIDNT GET IT!!! Please 🙏🏼 please 🙏🏼 please… believe when professional after professional and friend after friend are all saying the same things and all worried for you. I finally called it when he choked me. He didn’t even try hitting me first… he went straight for choking. He would harass me, following me at my job, in the parking garage, breaking into my home and leaving notes so I would know. Take it seriously. He has a problem that is dangerous and know one knows just how far he will take it - not even him. And every action cannot be undone.

Stacey from San Antonio, His sob story isn’t your problem. It isn’t an excuse for his betrayal of your family. That was his choice. He had a choice to end the marriage with integrity before engaging in all that. He was too immature to do so. Let that be his problem. Your focus doesn’t have to be on helping your ex “get help” now. He’s a big boy. He knows how to get it if he wants or thinks he needs it. He is no longer your responsibility. Phew! 😮‍💨 😅 😌 Deep breath… Shoulders down. Open a window, turn on the fan, and let that stink out… Ok, now that we are breathing it instead of toxins, here comes the hard news: You are still *your* responsibility. You can’t control him. He has rejected all your efforts through his rebellious behavior. Let that be as much good news as it feels like it is bad. Here’s why: Because now you are free to shift your focus from taking care of him or your marriage or your family’s needs - to taking care of your own. Because you no longer have the expectations that he will reciprocate your efforts. Phew! Sad, but real. You are strong enough to deal with real. You are getting there. You don’t get to hide anymore in solving everybody else’s problems. Thank God your kids are grown, but what a shame they grew up in these lies and deception. At least they are old enough to process and understand it appropriately. Phew! 😮‍💨 Ok here’s what, now: You get to focus on you. You get to be honest with yourself about what you need, what you like, what you require, what you prefer… and those can be difficult decisions if you’ve been in a highly controlled or controlling world. So, take it slow and find out. Meanwhile make sure you do a few things every day for self care: Excercise (walking for 10 minutes a few times a day counts) Brush and floss Shower Journal your feelings and thoughts daily Connect with a friend or supportive family member at least 3 times per week. Take a Zumba or tennis class with them… or do a fun activity, see a movie… unwind and talk it out or at least connect with what’s up with them. Find a support group. Many women have been through this - as awful and isolating and unique as it seems. This happened to my best friend with her 1st husband. You are not alone. That guy was a psychopath - and they are tricky. It wasn’t your fault you got tricked by a trickster. You know who they target?: People who are: - kind - generous - upwardly mobile (they can’t sponge off a log who’s always around to notice, they have to trick a busy person to do it for long) - capable - intelligent - fun - beautiful / attractive The fact that you were targeted is actually a compliment and it means you are likely all those things listed. So, you can recover. Now that this has been ripped off like a band aid. You might even bounce back stronger with deeper relationships and wiser for the discernment you earn through this experience. Go, Girl! Get yours!

[@brightpage1020]

You need to research complex ptsd otherwise known as cptsd. Sometimes non-therapists refer to it as relationship Stockholm Syndrome. Many women (and men also) were children raised in either physically abusive or emotionally abusive homes. So they aren’t even aware of the red flags of the narcissist behaviors or red flags abuse behaviors before getting into a long term relationship with someone in a romantic relationship or marriage. They are so numb to this behavior because of their childhood that they don’t understand what normal relationship behavior is supposed to be, sometimes until years later when they see other people’s adult relations and behaviors/ marriages and realize something isn’t right. Or they seek therapy because their abuse partner keeps telling them they are the problem and their therapist tells them they absolutely are NOT the problem, and they are in fact being abused!!
