Grateful for a wonderful husband

After watching Primetime tonight, which apparently was originally aired last October, I am soooo thankful to have a husband that loves me, cherishes me and would never ever do anything unspeakable like the things I saw on this episode of Primetime tonight. The things I watched were horrific. It was about a husband who verbally and physically abused his wife. But it didn't stop there. The husband made their 13 yr old son videotape a 51 minute session of the husband berating his wife and literally beating her. It sent chills down my spine. It brought tears to my eyes that such awful and ugly things happen in this world we live in. This woman was amazing. Thankfully, she is now out of the relationship and her husband is locked up for a very long time.

This story won't leave my mind. The couple had 3 children together. The husband even brainwashed the children into believing their mother was some horrible, horrible person. They were forced to watch the abuse right in front of their eyes. How sad. This story has just made me reflect on my own life. How grateful I am that I have a husband that would never lay a hand on me, nor ever do such misfortune to our family. I'm grateful that he respects the priesthood he holds. I find great comfort in that. I can't help but think of what lies ahead for this monster- of-what-used-to-be a husband on judgement day. I'd hate to be him! I can only think that he will have some serious consequences to face.

Anyone that knows us knows that you are the reason I am successful. I am grateful to have been raised correctly, and I am even more grateful for a wife who gives me the desire and motivation to b the best husband and father that I could be. KKKK

I guess I kind of skimmed over the bad stuff just to get to the nice comments you said about Will. I don't like hearing about bad stuff either.
