You started a relationship and eventually got convinced that your date is a keeper. You had feelings to each other, positive dynamics, chemistry, understanding and care. Being together was fun and joy. You were determined to go on to the rest of your life… And then you found yourself divorced.

When did you realise it was the time?

When I tired of my husband's humiliating treatment toward my children and myself conversing

The end came when I had spent the day painting my then 15 year old son's new room (his older sister had moved out) and putting together his new bed.

My husband came home from the pub, went into a rage and smashed the new bed into the wall..

I'm not a violent person by any means but I shoved his stupid face into the wall and split his eye.

We packed up a few belongings the next morning and moved out.

How many years did it take to be tired of this? Or has this event come out of the blue?

I reckon events out of the blue are the most gut wrenching for people.

Well... out of the blue? Could be, as it's something entirely unexpected. (And you don't expect it, because you don't know the counterpart as well as you think you do.) But does it have to be gut wrenching?

That's sad. Though I doubt there were no signs prior the event.

I think my dad bored my mum..He did absolutely everything she asked..He never ever said no to my mother..He did more with us kids than she..I think my mum is the reason I have a better rapport with men.

This feeling crept up over the final few years.

I played the peacemaker, tried to be perfect at everything as many women do when they find themselves victims of domestic violence.

It's insidious, the perpetrators controlling, and clever at manipulating people into thinking this is normal.

My children and I were basically prisoners in our own home, no one outside of it knew what was going on and many were astonished when I finally departed with my son as we probably appeared to be the perfect family.

This was twenty five years ago, there was nowhere near the support for victims of DV that there is now and many suffered in silence... as many still do out of fear of retribution blues

I had a job when I left but little in terms of savings and it was very difficult for the first few years but I still recall the indescribable feeling of freedom and joy the moment I mustered the courage to walk out that door, never to return.

I never married to get divorce. However, i knew it was time for the Big D after someone unprovoked threw boiling pea soup in my face because I closed the door to the master bath to escape into the soaker tub to forget a rough day. Other violent acts on her part cinched It.

Just don't get married at all
No value on marriage anymore, good old fashioned relationship with respect and loyalty is long gone.

Make it to 10 years and you'd do well.

Wonder how it will be in another 20 years
