What did I do for him to want to put his hands on me?Of course I forgave himassumed it would never happen again. I just thought he had let his emotions get the best of him, he loves me and he's sorry. I was deeply hurt that he could even be capable of this behavior towards me, I couldn't understand how the man I was so in love with, the FATHER of my child, the man I married just a few months ago could show such aggression towards me. ..."Emotional/verbal abuse started way before I even realized http://www.yankeesfanproshop.com/authentic-randy-johnson-jersey , eventually it started to be an everyday thing. Being blamed for just about anything that went wrong, name calling, intimidating me with personal force, manipulating me to think I was the problem, destroying my personal things, threatening me to 'send' meour son home to my parents as if I was privileged to be living in our home."She went on to write "Abusive behavior happened more often in arguments(more so when he was under the influence)the verbal/emotional abuse grew to new levels."A friendresponded to a commenton a since-deleted post on Reidy-Russell's Instagram in June 2017, saying "hateful is cheating on your wife Andy Pettitte Jersey , mentallyphysically abusing her.
