Oh, and as for the woman in authority who sounds quite angry about “husband as master”
She’s trapped. She thinks submission means obedience.

I somaticized for many years… had migraines, stomach trouble, depressed… But then when I started counseling and recovery from the CSA I had rage episodes where I could really be quite abusive toward my husband. I didn’t have any power to stop the abuse in childhood… and I didn’t think that I still had any power as a grown woman to stop abuse, because I want to please GOD and GOD wants me to submit to my husband and if submission means obedience then 🙁

Cheryl, I don’t cry when I get abused. I get angry.
Really I and he are so much better but it has not been an easy road.
And I had to STOP the obedience and stand up for myself and my children!
