I’ve been experiencing emotional abuse from my ex for the past (detail removed by moderator) He managed to make sure we continued to talk on the phone everyday, initially by making me feel guilty or by turning up if I refused. Eventually I went along with it as it was easier than dealing with the consequences if I didn’t. However he still controls my life. If I go anywhere but work there is an issue, so I usually overcome this by going out rarely. But it seems even this doesn’t stop him now, he’s constantly on at me about every little thing and I am constantly in a state of anxiety. I’m so scared of what he’ll do if I stop contact (he makes subtle threats, from what he says I assume he’ll attack my reputation and I’m in such a fragile state I don’t know how I’ll deal with it), I just don’t know where to turn. I feel like enoughs enough, I have to do something now to start piecing my life back together.
