The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Vicki Gunvalson has had her share of tough times in the past.  She opened up her heart and that scary past to L&S,

Vicki’s first husband, Michael J. Wolfsmith was an alcoholic. He abused me verbally. He had many affairs during our marriage.” During one especially horrifying incident, while Vicki was holding baby Michael on her lap, “he went to hit me,” Vicki says. While he didn’t end up striking her, she was consumed with fear. “I was 23 years old and pregnant for the second time,” Vicki recalls. “I was really scared.”

VIcki ended up divorcing Michael after 6 years of terror.  Those were the worst years of her life, they  ”were filled with screaming. I had to be his mother. I’d throw cold water on him to wake him up for work. It was a very hard life.”

Turning 30 brought her to a place where she knew she had to do something,  ”It was a pivotal point in my life,” she explains. “I didn’t want to live my 30s the way I’d lived my 20s. I wasn’t happy. I wasn’t loved.”

How sad is that?  I am so glad that Vivki finally stood up for herself and got rid of the douche!  I will never understand how woman put up with abusive men!  Verbal abuse is a horrible thing, it can hurt a lot more than a fist.  VIcki got rid of Michael and found the love of her life in Donn Gunvalson whom she has happily been married to for 15 years.

Kudos to you, Vicki.  I hope women out there hear your story and follow your lead OUT of their nasty relationships.
