 My relationship turned abusive and hurtful and devastating through the years. And I just thought I was going to die. I was just crushed. And I tried everything I could to keep that marriage going and keep it alive. But everything I tried failed. And the kids were observing all of this. Were they young at the time? Yes. You know, the beginning years were good. But as the years went by in the marriage, it got more abusive. Your husband got more abusive. Yes.
