Leslie Vernick: It takes time and maturity to recognize an abusive marriage

Leslie Vernick writes about the long process of opening eyes toward the reality of abuse. For some, realizing the reality leads to knowledge of the relief (and allowable option) of divorce under abusive circumstances.

It can take decades for the scales to come off our eyes when we have lived with abuse, when we desire to be godly and have God's favor, to see a whole home in the way that we envisioned it in our youth. Co-dependency and fear, self-judgment and the judgment of others slow us down, drive us further into abusability.

Leslie's entry here may help other women open their eyes and act for their own well-being sooner, limiting the destruction. (In some cases, that limitation early enough in the relationship may even lead to a saved marriage.)
