This says is all. Couldn't agree more! You are not alone. I'm tired and scared too.

I'm so sorry that got are going through something so hard. It sounds like your husband is really struggling and here we all know how hard that is to watch. That being said, you do not deserve to be abused. Sometimes people need help and getting help for their own good isn't enough of a reason...
