Hello, I am a christian. I'm not perfect by any means, but I have an important question. I'm 26 years old now. When I was young and foolish (19-ish) I married a man I had only been with for 3 months, who said he would take care of me and take me away from a dangerous situation at home. As soon as we were married, the abuse began. Emotional at first, then physical. He eventually forbade me to ever see my parents, friends, or family, or anyone else ever again. The only place I was ever allowed to go was a holiness church pastored by his uncle, who approved of the abuse and insisted women were slaves to men, and nothing else. I was forced to be a house wife and slave to him at all times. I finally couldn't take it anymore, and told him that either he agree to get counselling or I wanted him to leave. He asked me if I wanted a divorce, I asked him once more if he wanted counseling, and he said no. So I agreed to the divorce... (cont)
