      I quit my job but on the plus side I got another one closer to home and less hours so I can cope a little better at the present time. Always the unexpected around the corner. Feeling good today.

      Hi Kip
      Yes I’m certain I probably won’t sleep much and be on tender hooks, I will call them if I need to. I’m sure he’s already messaging his next victim too as he’s done that through all of our relationship. If only he came with a warning sign!
      He said vile things over the phone and so it just proved to me that he will never change and I’m not going to put up with his manipulation any longer.
      My kids & grandkids are the most important things in my life and they have done nothing but made me giggle again and been all the true love that I need.
      Thank you 🙂

      I agree with gettingtired! It’s amazing that we can read others responses and not feel so alone. We can resonate with survivors on a level that perhaps someone who has not experienced what we have, can’t. Even a few words can make your day.
      I’m so glad I have joined xx

      Hi Gettingtired

      I have been signed off from my GP for (detail removed by moderator) so far. I have added fears as I have lots of medical issues and I’m placed into several bubbles daily with currently 6 positive cases of COVID. My child Also has a respiratory issue.
      I have expressed my concerns via email which were only just replied to yesterday saying basically we won’t be changing anything regarding your hours or being put in different bubbles as it’s in the risk assessment that staff will accept going into different bubbles and it’s per operational need.
      I can’t cope with the aftermath of my personal incident and all this added stress at work.
      I do have a health at work meeting due with HR & manager but I don’t have anyone to attend with me and I’m thinking I’m going to get the same response as the email. X

      Thanks to both.

      My relationship was I think, less easy to recognize until the night it happened!
      I was shown love, care, help with my medical needs, help at home – all the things we have longed for. Underneath all this though was the odd cheating, the hiding debts, the drug use.
      One night we were celebrating and all of a sudden out of nowhere he strangled me in public. He was arrested and found to have drugs on him.
      He was removed and I’ve got to the point where I just can’t be bothered with him anymore but can’t do that break. It’s apparent that when things dont go his way he throws a strop but then he’s back to being helpful.
      It’s a constant battle of ups and downs which I don’t get from just living with my kids, so it’s him for sure!
      I feel that making solid choices and not being ‘the one to please’ everyone else at the minute and ‘just do me’ has given me more strength as the days go on.
      I know I will get there and this is another step joining the forum that will help. X

      Hi I’m new here and I am also having flashbacks, vivid images at night, sleep with the light on and if out at night I have this overwhelming feeling that people are out to seriously injure me. I have to stop, turn and face people behind me and let them pass.
      I spoke with my GP and they have referred me to cognitive behavioral therapy but the waiting list is 5months plus. It’s awful to live with and my work are hardly sympathetic. It’s been (detail removed by Moderator) since he was removed and it is a slow process but I feel that the thing I do have control over is that I can make choices for myself without having to feel like I’m pleasing him anymore and that enables me to deal with the ptsd and concentrate on me. Use self help guides too. Good luck x
