11. Sounds like my marriage, too.

I stayed with him and I raised the children. He was never there for me and it was difficult for me to work more than a part time job. We needed the money, too.

I sacrificed. He did not. In spite of his negativity and obstruction, I have accomplished a lot personally and professionally. I have done things locally as a librarian and a local political activist. I don't regret my children, but there are many times that I wish I had never married.
