I hit my husband after months of abuse. Am I crazy?
I got married one year ago.
About 4 months into the marriage, my husband became extremely psychologically abusive and controlling, as well as physically threatening on a few occasions.
At that point, I was despondent and felt I was losing my mind. I decided to leave and go to a shelter, it was that bad.
While I was packing my bags, my husband kept trying to obstruct me by taking stuff out of the bag every time I would turn my back, hiding my things (phone, medication, etc) when I wasn't looking, or blocking the doorway. This went on for almost two hours, with him taunting me the entire time about how "stupid" and "crazy" I'm for wanting to go to a shelter, when I could be "safe" with him…
I told him to stay away and warned him that if he crossed over to my side of the room again, I would call the police.
When I turned my back to get some clothes, he came over and took my phone out of my bag…
At that point I snapped and went nuts, I took my purse and started hitting him as hard as I could with it until he backed into the corner, screaming and yelling that I was going to kill him if he came anywhere near me again… I wanted to scare him and make him realize that I'm capable of defending myself.
Well, he had turned his iPhone on and secretly recorded the entire thing---minus the two hours that he had been taunting and harassing me and blocking the doorway.
Now that I have a restraining order on him and we're getting a divorce, he keeps playing the video to anyone that will watch it--police, psychiatrist, court, etc…
I know violence is not okay, but I don't think I'm generally crazy or have a bad temper.
Am I mentally ill or is what I did understandable given the circumstances?
You need psychological help.
Hell no your not mentally ill if i were i would have beat his *** repeatedly carry some mase if legal in your state or do what ever.
He is very manipulative and you will be better without him
try to record his actions against you in the future
- Why do some people abuse the welfare system by? Spending the money to get their nails done and dinner at Ryan's but feed their kids ramen noodles while they have an iPhone 5c and a gucci bag? Should they have the children's needs met first? I'm 20 and this makes me a little angry. Welfare should only be for those that actually need it same with ebt and disability.

- Last six months of data lost from iphone after replacment? So long story short, I dropped my iphone in the toilet. I got a replacement phone but when I turned it on, none of my apps are there and nothing from the last six months for text, pictures, notes and web pages/bookmarks are there. Is there way and how do I get it back? I'm not very good with technology.
