Lying about loss of money:
I lied to my wife and family for years about all the money I lost and now we are flat broke and I lost my job. Things are really f-d up. I came clean in December and was headed in the right direction financially until my company downsized and I lost my job. I’ve done all my family has asked me to do to change my ways, I’ve stopped lying yet we keep having bad luck and I get blamed for ALL of it. My wife beats me to the point of drawing blood and I am so sore I ache for days after my beat down. Today I was blamed because I failed to ask a question clearly…the answer was yes or no and if yes how much?
I cannot take it any more, its been 12 years of verbal and now physical abuse. I feel fortunate that I still have a roof over my head and my younger children don’t hate me. But the constant blame, the beating, the complete demolition of my self-confidence has taken its toll. I am working again but income is not great. but my wife does nothing but sleep in and complain. I know I deserve punishment but I REALLY CANNOT TAKE ANY MORE…every time I see her I start to panic my kids witness this violence. I am ashamed of what I have done, but have only friend for support. I lied to my wife about this problem because I am afraid of her and from our 1st month of marriage she began to show me shoe she really is. A tyrant, always right, physically and verbally abusive b****. The only reason I did not leave was to protect her daughter who I adopted and is an adult now and now hates me. Now I stick around for our younger children…but is this the environment they should grow up in? Watching their father be called a stupid f****** idiot and then be punched and kicked.
