And I don't, and I didn't, and I don't think any parent should put up with someone treating you like that.

And I think if your kids keep watching that, and especially, no, both boys and girls, I take that back.

I didn't want my boys to feel like that's okay how to treat a woman.

And I was weak enough when I was with Greg.

I'm a completely different person today.

David would even look at me like anything.

Really?

You know, I would never have done that with Craig.

Maybe if I was a different person or the person I am today, it would be different.

But I was very weak.

You know, I went from a controlling mom and dad to a controlling husband.

That's all I knew.

And so I...

Looking back, yes, I'm still very happy that I went and made a wonderful life with a wonderful person who treats me right.

And I wanted my kids to see that.

I wanted them to see a husband who treats their wife with love, kindness, respect, and puts them first.

So...

At the time, I wanted to take that part really slow because I didn't want to be traumatizing to the kids.

That, oh my gosh, there's somebody different.

And Greg was, I can't even tell you the torture he put me through as I left the house and left him.
