Domestic Violence…get help!
December 212009
PAST HISTORY: I was with this guy for 4 years. The first year of dating was great! Going into our second year shortly after we married, I learned my ex was bipolar schizo. Our relationship gradually fell apart. The destruction was partly due to his illness and reluctance to take his meds on a consistent basis. (No, I didn’t know he was bipolar before getting married.) Part of it was due to my inability to deal and cope with the situation and my uncontrollable rage & anger. Part of it was due to him emotionally blackmailing me. I take full responsibility in the part that I played in the destruction of our marriage and have since gotten the help and counseling to recover from that relationship.

Good video. Thanks for speaking on this topic (and not taking sides on the Chris Brown/Rihanna situation). I am glad you got out of your situation. I appreciate the information you are putting forth.

Good vid, that’s …
Good vid, that’s pretty big of you to admit that. I work with alot of people that don’t know how to deal with their anger and lash out at their love ones. Unfortunately alot of people think abuse is one way(male to female) and don’t realize that it can go the other way (female to male), nor the different kinds of abuse(physical, emotional, etc.). All in all good video.
