      Hi everyone

      I’m knew to the forum, I’m so isolated since leaving my abuser ( (detail removed by Moderator) weeks ago ) and would like to share my story.
      Iv been under domestic abuse services for two years now but never found the courage to leave until (detail removed by Moderator) when I was sexually beaten. I realise now that I had been experiencing this throughout the relationship and didn’t even realise as I thought it was consensual not that I had been coercived. I went through the normal cycle of love bombing, devaluation and discarde. I’m totally isolated and lost all my friends expect one, I lucky enough still have my family. I lost (detail removed by Moderator) jobs to through the jealousy and control he had over me and my phone had a tracker and other software so he knew what I was doing. I called the police back last year and was high risk of homacide through strangulation “ sex games gone wrong” he managed to indirectly contact me ( breaking his bail ) through sitting down at my daughters grave and putting status updates he wanted to talk. All of a sudden I had withdrawn my evidence and I was back into the relationship. The abuse got worse. (detail removed by Moderator) was breaking point for me, I reported it to my de but not the police I needed to get out and now I’m trying to pick up the pieces of what he has done to me and what he has got away with. I feel so let down by the police.. I had no exit interview ( which the my we’re supposed to do) I remember him sitting next to me when I called the CPS and his response was just a copper who doesn’t know how to satisfy a women or control them. He is now in a new relationship, I know the girl to and I just want to say run! But I know I can’t. I am in a lot of therapy but I’m scared he will hurt again. Thank you for reading and hello everyone
