Back in December of 2006, my husband was drinking and choked me... it was the first time he ever got drunk around me... So I thought maybe it really was how he said, that what he was drinking turned him into another person. Then around April of this year, he threw something at me and left a really bad welt on my arm. We both have issues dealing with our anger... but that was the second time he really scared me. This isn't the end. I had forgiven him for the first 2 times, but then just the other night he raised his hand to me... But didn't hit me. I had told him that if he hit me again, or any type of abuse there of, I was leaving... I am worried he'll do it again... but I love him to much to leave really... Maybe we just need help... I don't know...
