You are only telling half the story. My first wife was abusive and also unfaithful. She would slap for no reason.
After 13 years I slapped her back. I filed for divorce within days. I had no problem winning custody of the children as her abusive nature was well known.
Ironically, if she had called the police that day I would have gone to jail. I do not know if you are telling of abuse or of retaliation, but I do know that you need to end that relationship before someone is seriously hurt or killed. The physical actions will escalate unless you get out.
Fortunately for me I found a real sweetheart a few years later and we have now been married 28 years. Hopefully you will do equally well.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
