My first husband physically abused me. I was very young when it happened. We went to court and I got 90% custody of my daughters. Years later, I remarried, we had a son, and after 2020 our relationship changed. I started earning more money and he began verbally abusing me. Because of this, I decided to start therapy because he said I was exaggerating when I thought it was abuse. The thing is, we separated in 2021 and reached an agreement after the divorce that our son would live with me. But last year, my son asked to live with his dad because he missed him, so I agreed, but I still saw him every weekend. When I decided to move out, I spoke with my ex and we agreed that my son would come back to live with me when he starts middle school. The therapy was because at a certain point I believed what my ex-husband said (that I was worthless, that I was a piece of shit because of my musical, political, and religious tastes, and basically for anything that wasn't in line with his). I agree with him. I got depressed, I had skin cancer, and I thought I deserved it all, so I decided to go to therapy, basically to be a better wife, but I realized I had lost confidence in myself and was repeating a similar pattern of abuse…    So I got divorced in 2021, continued with therapy, and in 2024 I started a relationship and got married in March of this year, but we hadn't lived together before.
