Hi All! Short and sweet story? Nah... it's not sweet.
Was married to a man for the last few years who dealt with a pornography addiction. Turns out he was a cheater also. He was rarely alone on his business trips and when he was home he was on the computer, cell phone, or whatever... He was a wife beater too. He grew up in the church we attended and his dad was and still is very involved. When I had had enough, I left with my daughter and haven't been back. Several months after me leaving him, we filed for divorce and it turns out he got arrested for trying to molest one of the girls in the youth group at our church. I haven't been back to that church since I left... being that his family still attends, it would have been more than just awkward. Anyway, the church now has turned their back on my daughter and me because of me leaving him... The pastor hasn't called once to check on us and even said, "Well I'm on your FaceBook so I can tell that you're...there's no need to call." My elder won't speak to me either... I've very shy so there's this weird mind game that I play with myself like; keep your mouth shut! No one needs to know your drama. You're just glorifying the situation if you speak about it to others." Then someone recently said that there's a nasty veil of silence on subjects like these... Ugh... Why am I even typing this out. There are a million others who have gone through worse things. Anyway, lets see if I have enough guts to hit that little SUBMIT button.
