    Confused About Ex-Spouse

    I messed up. I attacked my spouse and tried to dispose of him like garbage, take all the money and steal the kids. My family convinced me to be like them. They did the same evil to their spouses. I tried to convince everyone my spouse was abusive and called him so many bad names when he is...

    Fought for Marriage, but it's almost over -- need inspiration
