I'm glad you are in the process of taking care of you. I know that process can take awhile, especially since right now you probably feel about one inch tall. He's managed to make you feel less than you are and I'm sorry that's happened.

When I was in that situation, it took me years to get out of it. Being the optomist that I am, made leaving so difficult for me. But, when I felt in my heart that I had done everything I possibly could, when I finally sat down and figured out I was fighting a loosing battle, I then found the courage and the strength to walk away. I knew it wouldn't be easy, but dang it...it wasn't any harder than dealing with the abuse day in and day out. Please don't let fear of the unknown stop you in your tracks. Take the steps you need to take to save yourself now....you will thank yourself in the long run for taking care of YOU! (obviously he isn't into helping anyone but himself right?)

YOU deserve to be cared for in a loving and gentle way. Is there anything loving and gentle in your relationship now??

Take good care hon....keep posting here for support and ideas when you feel you need them.
