My STBXH had been physically abusive
(shoved me against a table, pushed me roughly several times, kicked a soccer ball directly at me, hitting me square in the chest (on purpose), stopped the vehicle in the middle of a busy road and walked away, punched numerous holes in walls, thrown stuft across the room, nearly ran over my foot, etc.)
My STBXH has been emotionally abusive
(Constantly lying to me and gaslighting me - (has admitted to it ona few occasions), lied to me about not having STDs to get me to sleep with him unprotected (only found out after marriage), lots of yelling, criticizing, stonewalling and belittling)
My STBXH has been sexually abusive
(Forceably pulled my pants off and rubbed his dick on me after I said "no" numerous times)
Yet, despite knowing about these things, my entire family and his entire family have all taken HIS side. My in-laws are southern Baptist, and my parents are Jehovahs Witnesses. To them, any divorce absent adultery is a sin.
I'm moving out this week. So, they are all calling me evil, selfish, saying I'm destroying our kids' lives, etc. for finally leaving him.
I asked my dad yesterday if he could help me move some furniture out of the house so I can finally leave, and he refused because it's "against his principles."
Yesterday, my mom proceeded to send me a long email listing all of my STBXH good qualities (he provides financially, he sometimes washes dishes, etc).
I feel so alone.
