      This may be a rant – I am sorry in advance – I am just feeling so angry right now lying in bed.

      When he doesn’t get his own way he normally gets annoyed, throws a temper tantrum or sulks like a five year old would.

      Tonight I agreed to something – he continued to drink so I went up to bed. An hour later he comes in opening wardrobe doors – getting annoyed that I was asleep. I ignored it.

      Another hour passes and he comes back up – again waking me up. I ignored it.. but listening to his sulking down stairs is driving me crazy.

      Tomorrow – he’ll be fine. He won’t mention it and if I do – He’ll say it’s my fault for promising something and falling asleep.

      Why is it always my fault?

      I am writing all this down – and each day I’m getting closer to leaving! As much as I love him (for some reason) I know this isn’t fair on me anymore!

      When it comes to abuse it’s always the victim’s fault in the abuser’s eyes. It’s the victim’s fault to leave; its’s the victim doesn’t understand the abuser, it’s the victim who destroyed the family by leaving…anything. They will never admit their mistakes and even if they do, they’ll also make you partly responsible. Therefore, trust yourself, trust your guts feeling, trust your heart and you’ll know your way. Hope you can get away from him soon x

        This is how it all started for me. The tantrums, the silent treatment, the shouting. I wasted a couple of years dithering about moving on and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done.

        the last tantrum was so bad and had been happening so often I had uncontollable muscle spasms and near incontinence from the stress of it. It’s not worth it. These people will not change.

        i hope you can find your way out sooner rather than later. You will know when it’s the right moment for you. If you need help please ask someone or phone the police, I had no other way to do it either. Police were outstanding and could not have been faster or more helpful  x.
