The letter discusses a woman's tumultuous marriage, highlighting her long-term role as the family's provider while enduring various forms of abuse from her husband. After a recent incident, she and her child have sought refuge with her mother. Despite her husband seeming to pursue help for his mental health issues, she grapples with whether to trust his potential for change or to leave for good. It emphasizes the importance of setting a positive example for their child.
I agree that tolerating mistreatment sets a terrible example for your child. Before making the decision to reunite or walk away, punt. Make sure he is getting the help he says he is.
Since we left, he has realized how badly he treated me and seems to be getting help on his issues. Should I trust that he's changed to be a better man, or do I walk away?
