| A Man Can Be a Victim Too I have been married for nearly 25 years, and and as far as I know, my wife has been cheating on me for 13 of those years. I thought we were fine. I thought all was well, and each time it happened, I was truly convinced each instance was my fault. So I forgave her each time. She had an affair with my boss, my best friend, and even my attorney. She convinced me that my weaknesses and demons warranted her behavior so I put up with it, feeling absolutely terrible for being the root cause of her actions. She ened up getting pregnant to one of her “lovers”, but the time I truly discovered the truth, I had already fell in love with the baby and I refused to give her up. I’m currently raising another man’s child, but it isn’t her fault how she got here. She’s a human being. A person. She is now 3 years old and knows me as “dadda” and I wouldn’t have it any other way. It shatters my heart how she got here, but it mends my heart that she is here. I have written a full book about my wife’s terrible physical and narcissistic abuse, and she has truly performed acts that only the most depraved yet creative Hollywood writers could ever contemplate. I am healing, but the pain seems neverending. By survivor |
