I am a size 8 beautiful woman. Many people tell me how beautiful I am and I'm not talking about men trying to chat me up. I was abused by my husband for 17 years. My point is, my dear friend...it's not the dress size, or the skin color....it's not us....it's them!

donbyng, thank you for posting this video. I wish it had gone on longer, so is there an additional part? I am so pleased to find your frankness. I have experienced this phenomena you described (putdowns instead of praise for my work), with my former partner. I hope more women post videos like this.

I am in a situation where the guy puts me down a lot, screams at me and loses his mind. I am in college, trying to start up two businesses and a mother of two. I have put that all on hold to keep him from flipping out on me because he is possesive, controlling and jealous. I miss my friends, and want out, but don't feel good enough about myself and I feel like I need him. There is more, but watching your video was supportive.

I relate to this - larger women statistically are more often and more severely abused than thinner women. I also was with a blue-collar man who was contemptuous of my education and profession. in his opinion, I did not "suffer" enough to understand how it felt to punch a time clock, not get breaks, and get low pay. I lost my whole career because of him.

Is there a part 2 to this?
