LaurenLeigh, I don't know if you realize that he was an abuser. You have been emotionally abused, financially abused and who knows how much more. Even if he never once hit you he was still an abuser. I am glad that the abuse has ended. So glad you have found PC where you will find much support. I am a survivor of abuse too. I also slept hours away to avoid the emotional pain. If you ever want to talk PM me.

Here are some of the ways abuse are used against men and women.
