Hi Butterfly A. Oh my. Yes we are both in a similar situation. Like you I thought our relationship was normal. Far from it.
All these years in a emotional abusive and controlling relationship. Staying with my husband because of the children which has had a negative effect on them. My oldest son showing his dads trates with his girlfriend. My daughter having a abusive boyfriend and keep going back to him.
Like you I have been making notes.
Like you I think I’m going mad and all in my head then the control comes back. When you have lived with abuse and controlling it become normal. Tomorrow I have a therapist appointment at 9.15 then a solicitor ringing me at 11.
I have appointment with my doctor on 14th October. I’m feeling strong today. Might feel completely different tomorrow.
How are you managing? Have you got family and friends to support you? Thank you so much for messaging me. We are not alone. I love your saying You need to find yourself again. Coming back at you. Louise
