Awesome post @SilverTrees.

This is exactly how I see it too. I actually wish the guy I had married had been not just financially irresponsible & didn't just have a personality that came across many times as "what in the #@[[ is wrong with you". I recognized abuse & controlling guys & totally stayed away from them all my life.....but subtle stuff that was just "not quite normal" but totally messed up life was harder to recognize because it wasn't intentional emotional abuse either though that is how it came across many times.

When I had enough to where I could not tolerate any more & gave up on the possibility of therapy being able to fix his problem I LEFT. Takes courage for sure moving as far away as I did & not knowing anyone where I moved to.....but a wonderful chance to start life all over at 54.
