Crohn's is no excuse, no one has the right to treat you this way.

Can you let his doctor know what is going on? At least so they know and can also screen out possible med side effect.

Are you in counseling? Please find counseling if at all possible. Can you go stay with family members or friends?

From what you have written - you are being abused. Please call the national domestic violence hotline, they run 24/7 to help you with a safety plan. Let us know how you do also if you like, folks here do care.

1-800-799-SAFE (7233)

look through this checklist too:
