      I hope you don’t have too long to wait FS. Thank you for your replies, makes me feel I’m not so alone. In some ways I feel confused today, he’s breezed in from work as if nothing has happened. He told me last night not to speak to him, and tonight asked me why I was quiet. When I reminded him of last night, he said he didn’t mean it and was sorry.
      If I can summon the energy though, I’m done with it. He is abusive, nasty and vile, upsets me then acts like nothing has happened. This has been going on for years. Today, I’ve had lots of flashbacks from abusive moments over the years. I can’t go on like this.

      Luckily, we have a large house and I can settle in the living room at the back of the house, avoiding him. He moved into one of the spare rooms ages ago, so I have the bedroom suite to myself.

      I need to take time and plan carefully so when I’m ready, I can go, I live rurally and my biggest problem is where to go. All our friends are mutual ones and I have no family here.

      Take care of yourself, and thanks again
      Annie xx

      Thank you FS.. In a strange way it’s progress to know it is a use I’m living with. The
      walking on egg shells is so hard. I maintain a professional demeanour at work but am a wreck at home.

      Thanks for replies. I can’t phone the
      help line just now as he is in. I will try
      tomorrow. I feel so ashamed.

      I really don’t know what to do. He is so
      Nasty. We have no life together, he won’t go out socially or enjoy things like watching a film in the house. Life feels like
      Walking on egg shells.

      My husband suffers from poor mental health. He is constantly nasty and vile. Tonight I said I couldn’t live with it anymore, with the constant out downs , the nasty things he says. He told me if I went I’ds have to take the dog with me. In reality I have no where to go, no family here. He shouts at me,
      Swears at me and the other night pushed me out the way to get into a cupboard before
      Shouting and swearing as I had forgotten to put pepper on the table. I know he’s I’ll buy he won’t face it or let me call the doc. I’ve been living like this for years and
      can’t carry on.
