A good friend of mine was abused by his wife right up until the separated and divorced. You are not the loser. You had the strength to try to make the marriage work, even though you were being torn down by words and emotions.
My ex-husband kind of did the entire spectrum of abuse. I felt trapped, I felt that I should be a good wife and support him in whatever his problems were. My mother, even, said "you know, it's good times and bad,". Well, I finally reminded myself that she married alcoholics not once but three times.
Your downward spiral stopped the minute you logged on here. You mustn't be afraid of asking for help. it shows strength, great strength. You have greater resilience than you know right now.
