Knew each other 14 years, and married for 12. I had previously been been in an abusive marriage for 17 years. Went from from relationship (who was a stalker) into this one, who moved me to the other end of the country.
We have tried marriage counselling. Individual therapy, which I continue with. His therapist became ill with a life-threatening disease. He didn't open the referral letters, saying their work was just about done.
Even when his therapist was well enough to resume a limited practice with selected clients, he refused to returned.This (whatever this is) is solely due to to my illness. He bears no responsibility. Two of his three grown children are estranged from him. I did not do this all by my self.
It is heartbreaking, but I haven't the strength to bear my responsibilities AND his. He's contributed to the anxiety and panic I experience everyday by the distortion of facts and situations; my memory impairment does not help.
But I know what and to whom I say things.
It's time time that the impairment of verbal and emotional abuse be stopped. It is done.
