i am speaking from experience,...very recently i found the strength to run,i found the strength to seek help,i found i really was not alone when i reached out,i found there was some protection from the consequences,but mainly self protection,i found i was not lucky to have him,in fact the opposite,i found how to see through his lies,i found the courage to stand up,i found once i was out of the situation my friends began to come back,and i found new friends,i found that everything i gave him i need to give to myself,i found through all the hard work of escaping there is eventually peace,,,,i am finding my self worth and happiness...
