I am sorry. There's so much I want to say about him, so much I want to tell you, however I'll keep it brief.

He has a son. He doesn't visit, ask about him, or pay child support. He has been out of the picture since I was in third trimester.

Perhaps he has told you about me and my son, maybe he spun a nice sounding story about how I was horrible and cheated and about how I lied to make him pay.

I want you to know that I have left him twice. I left him at the beginning of things and was forced to come back and left again because I couldn't take his abuse. He has emotionally and mentally abused me. He has sexually assaulted me. He nearly drove me into preterm labor and suicide.

I still remember the good about him, how he always bought me presents. How he would cook me dinner and try to make things better. There is so much potential to him. He can become better than he is now, if he allows himself to.

I'm sorry for any hurt he causes when he lashes out. I'm sorry that he'll start taking it out on you. I'm sorry that you are going through this.

I hope that if he couldn't and refused to change for me, that he'll change for you.

Yours truly,

His Wife.
