Thank you for all your advice. It’s very difficult to think with a clear head when there are a lot of people telling me ‘you need to do this’ and ‘you need to do that.’ My default seems to always be one of hope, and thinking that I need to appease him and I constantly have to remind myself that what he is doing is damaging, and that just because there are no external bruises doesn’t mean that he’s hurting them from the inside.
I’m pretty sure of what he is, and can actually predict his behaviour and reactions quite well now that I’ve had a good stretch of time away from him. I’ve already put a lot of what has been said into action, and feel like I’m having to play the game. WA and NSPCC have been reassuring for me in the past, so another call will help give me the confidence to make the right decision, and I’ll also call the GP again. xxx
