Feeling Broken

My husband is splitting up with me because he can’t cope with my Aspergers! To be honest it’s a relief as I’d have left him years ago if he hadn’t trapped me. But i think I’d held out hope that he would change and stop being a complete control freak. But that switch has flicked now and I’ve realised that he will never change and the reality and enormity of years of emotional, financial and physical abuse towards myself and my eldest daughter is finally hitting me. It’s not a good feeling to finally realise how little I mean to someone and the extent to which they have used me to make their own life more comfortable.

    You are one of the strongest and most compassionate voices here.

    Lean on us if you need to, I'm sure any of the 'usual suspects' will be more than happy for you to PM them (us? I'll explicitly include myself in that list despite the risk of sounding arrogant).

    This is just you gaining another tail...

  • Thank you for your encouragement :-) Not broken as such. I guess it's more of a case of emotional abuse does to a heart what physical abuse does to a body. My heart feels battered, like it has been continuously used as a punchbag for years, which it has been. But I agree with the free bit.

    Thank you again. I really appreciate the support that all of the 'usual suspects' have given me on this thread :-)

    What! Another tail! The 9 that I already have already prove quite troublesome to manage!
