      This is classic emotional abuse and manipulation! Sounds like my husband to a t! He never physically hurt me but would threaten it, he also would say things such as ‘he is hurting’ ‘confused’ etc or threaten to commit suicide, that I did not care. This is all done to real you in and to make you feel guilty, then when that part of done they will say it is your fault! These men never take responsibility for their actions can never see what they do is wrong! Please do not let this man back into your home, it is abuse. Big hugs to you and your beautiful children x

      It really is a step forward accessing this valuable resource and I can say it has helped me make sense of things. It still has not sunk in with me yet what has happened but I am sure over time it will do, keep reading other people’s stories and posting about your own experiences, take care xx

      Thank you Anabel’s for the support. My ex would never take any accountability for his actions or words and after the last arguement realised he never would. He would say everyone argues and that our relationship could be volitile at times. I must admit that I sometimes did try and stand up for myself but I think he would try to ‘gaslight’me by keep switching what we were arguing about until I was left confused. He is extremely confused at why I have left him as the more volitile arguements did not happen very often. I still find it very hard especially when my children are upset about it, I just hope in the future I realise I made the right decision.

        Through reading other people’s stories some of it resonated with me profoundly maybe my story is very similar to yours. I was with him for nearly 2 decades which is a long time, like you and your partner. Have you managed to leave? I still feel frightened of being on my own but at times can see light at the end of the tunnel. Much love to you x

      Have you not been able to get a restraining order on him? So he would go to prison if he breached it? Really hope you get something sorted soon X

      Who told you that you made it up? That is horrible! I truly hope you get the support that you so desperately need xxx
