i have experience a hard time dealing with my husband we've been married for almost two years and we really hevent acted as if we are family...we only live together in a total of 4 months 2 months in 2005 and 2 months in 2006....and worse he always hit me....i even got a six fine stitches below in my right eye and now its a scar....and i have realized that having this kind of marriage wont really work out and he already abandoned me and my daughter...so i filed for anulment and as of now its still on the process...and i thank god that he showed me into the right path and help me think alot....and now i am happy with my life with my daughter and being a sinlge mom makes me more tougher and strong and more responsible person.

It is sad but true that sometimes a person has to obtain an anulment or a divorce because the spouse turns out to be physically abusive. It is the best thing you can do for your daughter to get an anulment.

Good for you!! Although it took you a while to realize that your relationship could not work, I do commend you for finally standing up for yourself and for your daughter. One can only take so much abuse, and I do believe that people who hurt their loved ones don't really love them at all. I just hope and pray that you find the strength and courage to continually stay strong for you and your daughter.

Thanks God you have made the right decision. I told my husband if he will hit me even once, I will have to go out of the marriage right away. There is no reason in any way for any person to violently hit another person.
