What the experts had to say
It took me about two to three years to realise that my husband was not going to hit me or abuse me. Sure we have rows but there is a line and he has not crossed it. There is a huge difference between someone who abuses and someone who has just reached their breaking point.
There is no excuse for what you did but I feel that you are genuine and want to understand what drove you to that point. If all the abusive men felt the way you feel then there would be a lot less heartache in this world.'

'As others have said, it is probable that her past experiences of abuse are linked to her current behaviour. However, this is NOT an excuse. Abuse by anyone to anyone is wrong and physical assaults - and threats of them - are without question, criminal behaviour.
She too has a problem, regardless of the reason for her actions, and you have said little about her willingness to address this.
It might help for you to see your situation as involving two distinct problems which you might need to address separately. In other words, you might want to find help around your behaviour AND help for your feelings about her behaviour.Good luck.'
