00:00I'm driving the car, he's in the passenger seat, and we're arguing back and forth about the directions.
00:05He tells me, you're a whore, you're a s**t, I regret marrying you, and then he just, this barrage of
00:13verbal abuse.
00:15And then I tell him, well, you must have a type because you're not anyone's first pick.
00:23Because he was not a very attractive looking man.
00:25He then grabs me by the back of my hair and smashes my face into the steering wheel while I'm
00:32driving the car with our whole family in it.
00:34I start yelling, get out, I pull over on the side of the road, I kick him out of the
00:40car, the kids are screaming.
00:43I start to think about the fact that we are headed to this place where all of my family is,
00:48all of my friends, my entire recovery group.
00:52If I show up without him, I have to tell everyone what's happened.
00:55I start thinking about how am I going to afford my mortgage by myself.
00:58So after he assaults me, he gets in the car.
01:02We all drive to the place, and then I get up and do my recovery celebration in front of everybody
01:07like nothing even happened.
