I’m a newbie. You have no idea how grateful I am to have found this site. In all my years I never knew it existed. That’s not until I experienced first hand the vial manipulative, cohersive controlling, insidious, terror of being in an emotionally abusive, physically aggressive, toxic and harmful relationship. It got real scary when I exited. The psychological injury I have been left with is indescribable. That was (number removed by Moderator) years ago. And now I’m a traumatised being working hard to put their life back together. I am here filled with compassion for myself and all of us living with the wounds of domestic abuse. Hello everybody 😊
