I called…..I am getting help, it’s scary and a relief all at once.

Weird how your emotions do things to block stuff out….I have just remembered when I was in (detail removed by Moderator) several years ago, he hit me round the face for not being able to reach down and turn of the stop cock tap in the ground, which he couldn’t do either. It’s the only time he hit me, but he still did….how could I have not remembered about this til now. Why didn’t it concern me….why has it come back to my memory no Way?

Well done for posting on here Hannah. I am going to call the help line this week. I stayed in my controlling marriage for (detail removed by Moderator) before I realised it wasn’t right or healthy, it’s good to be out but really struggling to understand why, how it’s happened and how to move forward. Children together also makes it more complicated. Good luck sweetie……keep talking about how your feeling and what’s happening…..it helps to make sense.

Omg……this is my exact story too. I am trying to do what is best for the children…..he has been so discrete it makes it difficult! I am at the moderation part if this doesn’t work…(detail removed by Moderator)…which is really scary! I moved out of the family home also.. With the children. I have realised since how controlling he has been and how isolated I was and how I was not me! Good luck…hang in there and keep going.

I wasn’t sure if I was over reacting…when I reflect back on the relationship…it’s always been there, but so descretly, I am out now and can see how isolated I had become and how I wasn’t me any more. I wasn’t sure it was bad enough to call the help line…they must be so busy. I need to find ways to stop this control now as its for my children.

I am not sure if posting in the right place. Today I disclosed to a moderator and solicitor that I feel I have been emotionally controlled by my husband, who I separated from in (month removed by moderator). Realising this is what has been happening was really hard…..accepting it has been really hard….we have children and now trying to move forward…, but struggling with contact… He wants them more than I think is right and has threatened to take it to court if I don’t let him…..it’s been emotionally draining and I have felt embarrassed, sad, guilty etc.. Feel the need for a touch of support to keep going.
