Wow, church has been so blind to this. Ex and father have been so controlling and unreasonable, and I wasn't believed. So hard to recover, still combating the lies. 27 years, divorced 10, still struggle with parents influence and programming.
I was trying to find some words to describe dr jekyll for my English homework and I found this yea this is very awkward for me I am just trying to find some words
You are often very clear and frank with your sharing of your wisdom, and I thank you. But often times I see women who do not know or understand the meaning of bonding with a man. Especially if the woman has not grown up with a man in the home(as a child), or if her own mother was a dysfunctional wife. How can a woman relate/bond with a man if they dont see eye to eye on anything?
Robert - I am responding on behalf of Leslie. This is a frequent question she gets. Leslie acknowledges in her teaching that the source of abuse can be the wife. However, her ministry is focused on women with abusive husbands or relationships. There are professionals out there that focus on abusive wives and I encourage you to search the web on this topic. On the other hand, the principles that Leslie teaches women can also be very helpful to men in similar situations. So valuable insight can be gained by watching the content the Leslie produces.
Knowing my situation and seeing some of the comments here, I just want to add that it is not always the man who is the proverbial bad guy. I know the Leslie's target audience, like so many in the helping field, is women. Please don't discount men, as that doesn't help either men, or women.
@Pamula: Don’t get remarried because that’s considered adultery in God’s eyes if your ex spouse is still alive. (Unless he committed adultery, or abandoned you.) Spiritual, emotional, and mental abuse in a marriage does not count as grounds for divorce unless Ms. Vernick can quote scriptures that prove me wrong. I got remarried, but now I live as “spiritually divorced”, but still legally married. Wish I had never remarried!
You've described my marriage 💯 Leslie! Its been soul destroying
Yes. 20 years of this.
It is exhausting
Thank you so much, what wonderful words of truth!!
Excellent insight! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you, Leslie! God Bess you!
