Thank you, I’m glad you found your way out of your situation. I see what you mean about ptsd, you’re so used to the energy etc that it doesn’t feel abnormal to be on edge.
I feel like I’ve sat in this for so long waiting for my child to be school age so I can earn more and have options that just sitting still and sucking it up is the only way to be.
he wasn’t always like this (and I don’t think I’m being naive in saying that). I wish I knew what happened in his brain to turn him into this person.
I don’t know what it was about this argument (it’s been months since the last blow up) that’s really shaken me but it doesn’t feel like empty threats to scare me anymore. I’ve never been in a relationship I can’t financially leave before.
