      Thankyou so much x
      I have started reacting back to the constant aggression,
      & then I am called the abusive one

      I am in the same mess right now
      Living with a partner who got angry about how I cook vegetables & puts his hands round my throat & squeezes

      Since then has grabbed my arm so hard it has been covered in bruises.
      I feel deeply ashamed & unable to tell my daughter as I have already left her abusive dad
      Then he tells me I am mentally disturbed?
      He has persuaded me to move (detail removed by Moderator) miles away from my daughter & sign a joint tenency. I am too scared of him to say no? Every time I say I dont want to he gets angry? He also knows where my daughter lives

      I hope one day I will be strong enough to leave
      I just feel too exhausted to fight him and go

      Thankyou x
      Yes unfortunately at the moment I am still there?
      He took advantage of the depression I went through after leaving my husband, I mistook it for kindness
      He pushed me around a few times, & i was so low i didnt care
      When he scares me i scream & he says i am mentally disturbed from my marriage & he will look after me 😓
      I think he is more clever than my husband
      He can be very nasty & swears at me if I dont clean the house how he wants, then he acts like it was me who made him do it?
      I am planning how to leave when I am able
      Thankyou for your support x

      My husband was like yours before I left, I was advised by a counsellor it would be better for my grown up kids leaving. He was good to them for (detail removed by moderator) until a girlfriend appeared, then he started on them
      You had better leave your life is in danger, I never want to set eyes on you ever again, I am going to report you to the judge & you will be locked up for seeing your mum
      Once an abuser always a abuser
      It was never about me & I have realised

      Many thanks
      I have a lot to learn about healthy relationships
      He makes me feel too ashamed to reach out and tell my daughters or work collegues

      The counsellor has reported me and not my daughter
      I am (detail removed by moderator) away from my home still living in hiding from my husband

      My (detail removed by moderator) year old daughter wanted to stay with her dad when I had to leave
      It took him (detail removed by moderator) before he started being nasty to her too, on & off
      I have supporting her in secret & been helping her to find somewhere to live which i am hoping should happen in the next 6 wks, she has an emergency plan
      In the last couple of weeks he has found out she saw me (detail removed by moderator) & has threatened to endanger her life if she stays, then he cools down & acts like normal

      Thankyou for your kind replies x

      No I am not getting any support at the moment
      I know this sounds strange but i am not keen to get rid of the boyfriend as he is my only security? although I dont trust him now, he really scared me at the time, but has gone back to his normal self, he says it is my fault for winding him up which I did, because I am sick of him saying my cooking doesnt meet his high standards
      I have tried contacting a local service but it has been difficult as I am always at work or with boyfriend when they phone
      still getting threats from ex hubbie who is also threatening (detail removed by moderator_ We dont want to move into a refuge as waiting for (detail removed by moderator), then hoping to be able to afford to move 100 miles away, do not have any money left from the divorce

      I have told the counsellor i have moved away for a job so wont be going back. I dont feel able to tell her stuff anymore
      I will try & and give the charity another ring tommorow at work x

      Thankyou for your your advice
      I am very proud that she is being so brave about her dad
      Much braver than I have ever been
      & that she sees him for what he is

      Thanks guys
      Phoned a womens domestic abuse local centre & they are offering a case worker
      I will phone the police if he kicks off again

      I have refused to cook, make coffee, wash up as this is a major source of his anger
      I have tried to say to him why would he want to stay with me if I am not good enough?

      I have my daughter who is going to be homeless because of her abusive dad
      My family are abusive too

      Trouble is he just laughs it off like I am exaggerating & I am mad,
      I am under alot of pressure right now as trying to divorce my abusive ex
      I am sure he would even talk the police around

      I feel so ashamed of myself it has happened again?
      I will try & phone womens aid tommorow x

      Well done for rebuilding your life with such positivity!
      I have been moving some of my stuff out of my house gradually into a friends garage hoping my husband is not going to notice
      I know I can only take the essentials and a few sentimental things
      the rest I will have to leave behind
      It is hard not being able to tell my grown up children until I am safely away from him
      I am hoping to be out in the next few days or so

      You have given me hope that my life after such a very long marriage will be better
      I will also buy a primrose to put on the window -sill
      I will think of all you brave women that have inspired me to escape when I look at it
