how shall I get through the months or years of my future life, in company with that man — my greatest enemy — for none could injure me as he has done? Oh! when I think how fondly, how foolishly I have loved him, how madly I have trusted him, how constantly I have laboured, and studied, and prayed, and struggled for his advantage, and how cruelly he has trampled on my love, betrayed my trust, scorned my prayers and tears, and efforts for his preservation –crushed my hopes, destroyed my youth’s best feelings, and doomed me to a life of hopeless misery — as far as man can do it — it is not enough to say that I no longer love my husband — I HATE him! The word stares me in the face like a guilty confession, but it is true: I hate him — I hate him!
