It’s been a few months now since we had our last big argument, also the day I told him it was over. Despite him still being in my home and still finding myself not doing certain things he wouldn’t agree with, I’ve stood my ground not once broken, not once gotten intimate with him. I’m slowly getting happier knowing that each day I don’t break is another day his control over me weakens and hearing that my litttle boy told social services that “(detail removed by Moderator)” broke my heart and was just a sign that I am doing the right thing for me and the kids. Hoping to keep this up while also questioning why I’ve only just took off the blindfold.

Hi Drainedallthetime,
This sounds like really positive progress. Try to be kind to yourself with the questioning. Domestic abuse can be really hard to see when you’re in it, the dynamic becomes normalised and minimised by abusers and you’re left feeling unsure of your own experiences. No one gets into a relationship expecting their partner will be abusive and it’s a horrible thing that a person who is supposed to care for you is abusing you, it’s understandable this would take time to comprehend and accept. The important thing is that you have now taken that blindfold off and you’re working on steps to be free of his abuse.
Take care and keep posting,
Lisa
