      Hi, I am so sorry you are struggling. I am also struggling. Until a few weeks ago I hadn’t recognised my partners behaviour as abusive. Even though it ticks every box in coercive control, emotional abuse and financial abuse. I’m struggling hugely with the mental fallout, the reality of being in this relationship, which I plan to leave at some point, and the fact that I had made excuses for him for so long. I feel like i need some coping strategies. Sending hugs to everyone having a bad day.

      Hi, I am also new to here. Until two weeks ago I was unaware I was in an abusive marriage. I knew things werent right, as his behaviour towards me was appauling, but I struggled to define it as abuse. His main tactic is coercive control. and emotional abuse. For example, if I do not do or give him what he wants, he threatens self harm (an empty threat) or tells me (detail removed by moderator). There are many examples I can give.
      I am looking for advice and support from this forum. I work full time which is a huge struggle and am looking to build myself up so I can leave.
