I married my husband in 1989. Since reuniting with my sister after 25 years, I have found out some extraordinary pieces of information. My husband told me about his stepson some years after we were married and certainly played down the enormity of the situation. (in an extremely racist manner). My father befriended my husband when I was eight years old; he was 25 and a first-year out teacher at Sale Technical School. My sister has been told that my husband had an affair with our mother. Well, that accounts for my father’s reaction when I told him I was marrying his ‘friend’. My sister has memories of being on my husbands yacht with these two brothers and their mother. We were probably in primary school. I have spent my married life enjoying my children and my varied and rich life. I had no understanding of my husbands abuse. I merely thought him useless. I now realise how dangerous and manipulating he is. I have much more to write about my estranged husbands impact on my life…
