I’m sorry you are going through that. Do you have children? I’m the oldest of five and my dad was a beast to my mum and us, and I grew up hating her for not doing anything about it. Looking back I can see how difficult it would have been to leave with five kids.

There wasn’t much help beck then but there is now. You don’t have to stay in an abusive situation. Imagine what your life with him will be like in say five years time. Do you really want to put up with that?

Take care of yourself.
