It isn't your fault and your not to blame. Can you visit a friend or family and use their phone to call a shelter? Pack essentials, i.d etc? Believe me once you are out...freedom is wonderful. I required several surgeries due to his physical abuse. No one can force you to leave. Just know that you deserve to feel safe and free from abuse. |
I’m so sorry that happened to you. Mine is not physical, just emotional and sexual- it’s abuse by neglect and ongoing dysfunction which leads to me having emotional meltdowns. He and I are both soooo nice outside of the bedroom nightmare. Had he hit me, I’d have left much more easily.
