Have any of you been domestically abused by someone?

Define abuse. My ex wife used to tell family and friends what a horrible person I am, and that they should never tell me, because who knew what I might do. Then she would do crazy things to put herself in danger and say it was my fault because I should have protected her. And then she'd accuse me of abuse and threaten to have me beaten up if I ever tried to stop her. I heard constant accusations of infidelity, although I never cheated on her in 17 years of marriage. I was subjected to all kinds of vague accusations of conspiracies, lies, manipulation, etc., but she would always refuse to make her accusations specific to a time and place or to show any kind of evidence. "Women just know these things." When I finally gave up and divorced her, her family and part of mine all believed her lies sans evidence and ganged up on me to destroy me financially. They did a pretty good job of it, too.
Maybe that's not on a par with getting beaten up, but it ain't no fun.

Yes. The last incident almost took my life and I found the strength to report the person. This was not the first time that I had been abused by him. The sad part is that he has not been found. I was so afraid that I left my home and job. I have relocated over a thousand miles away and I feel safe. The best revenge is to live well. I have learned how to load and shoot a gun. I never thought I would find myself in this situation.

I come from a dysfunctional home. My parents were forced to get married, but divorced a short time later, it was over 30 years ago and times were different.
My father was an abusive alcoholic who now doesn't even know my name most of the time, but that doesn't bother me because if he did know me, he'd probably be hitting me up for money.
What does bother me now is that he is like a motivational speaker who promotes, get this FAMILY & TRADITIONAL VALUES!

No, if I was I'd be in jail for hurting him! My friend is a volunteer for Domestic Violence in her community. She gets calls by the police all the time........if you are, leave-he won't change no matter what he says, how sorry he is.........LEAVE!!
