OMG - "Wearing your heart on your tongue isn’t always a gift."- THIS!!! One of the best lines EVER!!! You're clearly my kind of lady. ;-)
My first marriage was very much like this, but I was fortunate, in that I never left my home town while I was with him, nor did I have children with him. If I had, I might very well not be here now. Thank goodness you too were protected.
I can relate regarding your sister as well. I have a sister who likewise told me she had my back, and didn't. Ironically, she told me something similar, that of everyone she knew, I was the truest to who I was at twelve years old. Which is true.
Thank you for sharing your story. I know how hard it was. I commiserate, though what I went through pales by comparison. Yet each of us, in our way, remain blessed.
Thanks to @snook for alerting me to your story, as I may not have found it otherwise. Be blessed and keep on Steeming!
Hello @crescendoofpeace, hehe, thank you <3
I am really sorry though, to read you too had to go through such an experience & are able to relate.
That's really something no one should have to.
It makes me endlessly happy that you too managed to overcome <3
NEVER GIVE UP & keep on steemin, lol <3

Yes, well, both the upside and the downside to the @metoo movement is that now people are at least getting some clue as to how very common this is, and hopefully, it will become less and less "okay" to look the other way, as well it should.
Having said that, I am personally really good at hiding my feelings, and most of the people I knew outside of my own family had no idea that anything was wrong.
Sometimes we are way too good at being stoic.
The féminin energy is rightfully taking it's place in this ( still ) man-driven world!
I fully understand, because I do it too!
Much love to ya @crescendoofpeace
And to you, @d-vine. Take care and be well. ;-)
