      almost (detail removed by Moderator) weeks without him after (detail removed by Moderator) years is so hard. It’s been (detail removed by Moderator) nights since he tried to strangle me, the (detail removed by Moderator) time he was physical without alcohol (I’m not excusing him), (detail removed by Moderator). I tried to carry on as normal but broke down at work and my colleague (she was aware of his control by just working alongside me) gave me the encouragement I needed to be strong and report him. Within (detail removed by Moderator) he had rang me consistently and left (detail removed by Moderator) messages, the last one simply said ‘(detail removed by Moderator)’ as though he was threatening to take his life, which he does regularly. At this point I walked out of work and took myself to the police station. I didn’t know what else to do but ask for a welfare check. He was (detail removed by Moderator), the officer asked me if I was relieved and I fell apart. How could he be so cruel to keep doing this. I gave a statement, my husband was arrested for (detail removed by Moderator). A DVPN is in place. So much has gone on in that time and continues to go on, it feels never ending but I am getting so much strength from reading the posts on here. I realise I’m not going crazy and it wasn’t me doing everything wrong. I just wanted to reach out to thank everyone and share the breaking point in my life. If I can do it then I know there is hope for everyone suffering ❤️

      Hi Alltoomuch,

      Welcome to the forum and thank you for sharing with us. You have been through so much, I am really pleased you are finding the forum helpful. You have definitely not done anything wrong or caused any of his abusive behaviour- only he is responsible for choosing to act this way. Keep posting to us when you can, we understand how difficult going through this is and it can really help to post about what you are going through and how you are feeling.

      Best wishes,

      Lisa
