Thank u all for ur posts. I read and re-read them over and over and just let everything sink in. I was that frog being boiled. Now that I reflect on it, it was a push here and their and verbal abuse was continuous. And I just stayed in the pot hoping it would cool down. I would love to post pics but If I post anything he will surely find me and I don't want to bring harm to my friends home. I am afraid for myself. I'm going to call local domestic violence office and let them guide me. I appreciate all ur kind words and caring. I always feel like no one cares for me and u all have shown me different. Thank you!!! :)
(((newgirl))) Good for you, honey. Keep taking care of you. You've been through a lot. Glad you are going where you can get the most help now in your area. Keep on the board with us.
So happy you are taking care of business. Please follow through like Betty said. With A's we have to always: " mean what we say, say what we mean but never say it mean." If we don't they will never believe you are serious about your health and sanity....and will continue to control.
I want you to know I'm learning this now with my partner. He is not a A but I have said things for so long without following through and now he doesn't believe me so continues his ways. He can do whatever he wants but it's what I want what matters now.....so I need to take action for ME and let him go. When the time comes I will, until then I keep my mouth shut and pray for the courage to make that change and plans to follow through.
((( hugs )))

My daughter and I had to contact a domestic violence center here in our town when my daughter was threatened and a lady met with us and walked us through it all and made us feel supported. I hope you have a place like we do to help you walk through the process. I am sending you much love and support!
