      I just want to say well done keep strong you are doing amazing. I am some distance out of a controlling abusive relationship and unfortunately I still get the doubt. although with each day it does get easier. reach out and talk to everyone you can they are so understanding and helpful and have definitely been a mess for me not to go back because I am not gonna lie its hard but it is so worth it xxx

      He is in another (happy) relationship and has been for a considerable time. We have had no contact for around half of that time. He was suing us both at the same time she was not the first. I know time details will be taken out. We do have children but he doesn’t really see them. He is also stalling on the divorce and financial stuff. I know its to get a reaction but I won’t do it as much as I want to I won’t let him control me again. Well that’s how I feel right now. I spoke to our local DV charity as I know I was feeling vulnerable.

      They are aware but says I will be liable and they will send around debt collectors… It was an exciting account which he accessed and extended in (detail removed by Moderator).

      In have firm boundaries we do use a third party for contact but I am now having panic attacks when they contact me. I feel so weak and ridiculous. I am getting legal aid as he has admitted violence. I was getting support from our local victim support but as my risk is now lower apparently I no longer need support. I am waiting for CBT.
      And this pull to just talk to him is ever present maybe I am over reacting or maybe I am the abusive one just like he claimed. Especially as he is now living (happily) with someone else. There was a definite cross over in our relationships.
      I know I cannot pout times in but it has been really long time and nothing seems to change for me xxx
      Thank you for replying and sorry I know I go on I just can’t seem to get out of this confused state. xxx

      Sorry but after years of being with someone who blamed their behaviours on their mental health I have to say this would be me saying goodbye. I now also have the same mental health condition due to his abuse and needless to say I don’t get aggressive or hit anyone… sorry again mental health is no reason for anger and violence or near violence.

      Thank you. This self doubt is crippling and all the processes are so long it just drags it all out. xx

      Hi, Thank you. He honestly didn’t have any relationships before me that he ever spoke about. He said his longest was 6 months. But never said a name or anything. (detail removed by moderator) I believe he does have it he defiantly seemed to use it to control me. He also had many affairs before his diagnosis. I just didn’t know about them. ~It is def not so present in his life now but his new tactic as I said above is blaming me for the abuse.

      I write no longer at this address on letters and repost. We are also completely no contact. Only though solicitors and an order I tried everything you did but he just ignored or pushed more. I was too weak to say no.

      wow this is giving me so many anxious thoughts. I want to tell you to walk away as quickly as possible. My ex has a severe mental health condition and used it for years to control me and as an excuse for his behaviours. It has taken me a long time but I now know that using his mental health like this is not acceptable and I would never accept it again. Sorry I know this is harsh but we are already vulnerable being on here and I don’t want you to get hurt again.

      We have children together so will always be something I guess. However, we are no contact…

      Hi Apricot,

      Thank you for sharing, I can truly relate to what you have said and it often sends me in a spiral. coming here and seeing this has helped. Although I hate that others are also going through this it helps me from going crazy and stops me going back. I am a way down my journey but his recent attempt at control/sabotage/abuse has brought the feelings to the forefront.
      I really hope you find the peace you are looking for xxx

      We have children so he contacts them. He is also sending pointless letters through legal channels. Our youngest cannot read so I end u p reading the y=texts. He is (detail removed by Moderator) but severely dyslexic. He is blocked on everything. I don’t reply to the digs and the legal stuff my solicitor does but it so draining xx

      Thank you. I know all this I really do. I also know all the technical terms and could talk about it all with a professional. I just cannot I think accept it is happening to me. I know he’s been on dating websites and cheated on her since they have been together. She was well primed with the dates and what to say when I asked her. He has defiantly done a number on her. He told her I was abusive he also got help from a mens abuse charity. All I have ever done is love him tried to protect him and tried to keep him alive… I always put him first in everything. I think that is what hurts the most. Yet he just upped and walked away and has a new life with completely new family. Although, I think we would still be in the whole cycle and me being the side chick if I hadn’t put a stop to it.
