Writing this blog is hard
As I work through the years of abuse, I wonder why I stayed. I wonder why when I left, I returned. Many times it was because of my children. Other times I don't really know. I cry a lot. I cry for my children, who feel their dad did nothing wrong, and are preventing me from seeing them or my grandchildren. I cry for my older son, whom I chose to stop seeing so I could protect him from my abuser. I cry because I was too lacking in confidence to walk away and stay. I cry because the memories hurt so very much.

Sometimes, you need to work through the pain in order to come out on the other side. Also, no need to cry for me, you did exactly the right thing. Once I understood it, I wasn't mad about it any more.
