It is a hard road. You do wonder a lot of things and it is VERY hard to leave.<BR/><BR/>Somehow in my mind, the fear of the "UNKNOWN" was as abad as the fear of being in the sbue. At least I knew what to expect there.<BR/><BR/>There is hope. I am not what I would like to be. The years of fear did a number on me, but I am still a "work in progress" and progress at least means you are moving in the right direction.<BR/><BR/>Never give up or give in.Surgeon In My Dreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13179150077622941677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29439394.post-1155654619011265252006-08-15T11:10:00.000-04:002006-08-15T11:10:00.000-04:00i just came across your blog.

I felt so small and my self esteem was in the pits that i was secretly planning in my mind to kill him. Its either him or me. Thank God i left him 3 years ago and i never felt better though it still hurts. It was never easy and you stayed on such abusive relationship not knowing that life will get better if you leave him.

He should ask his doctor about it. I have a friend who was VERY surprised to find out that her Chronic Pain qualified her.
