for two years i was with someone that would hit me for anything i did. everything i said and thought was wrong and stupid. everyday he would say that im crazy, tell me something was wrong with me, and hit me for every little thing. now, finally, after so long i was finally able to leave.
it got to the point where he would take me to work so i wouldn’t drive MY car by myself cuz he knew i wouldnt come back. he would sit infont of my job and my classes and wait for me to get out… he would watch me to make sure i didnt go anywhere or talk to anyone. he took MY credir cards so i wouldn’t spend MY money and took MY cellphone so i wouldnt call anyone.
i just couldnt live the nightmare anymore.
i got help.
i told the people at work what was going on and they helped me escape him. and i did. to this day he has no idea where i went or where im staying. i think it was the SCARIEST day of my life. i kept telling them i couldnt do it, i couldnt leave him, he will find me, he will beat me! but they kept telling me “you can do this” “you can leave him” “you will be ok” and i did it… and you know what? all of those things i was so worried about never happened.
now my life is completely different. i wake up in the morning happy! i thought i would be alone for a long time after this but thats not the case at all. now im with someone now that treats me with respect. he treats me like a person… not like his property. he’s kind to me, very gentle, and never even raises his voice to me. he treats me like a real man should treat a woman.
it is possible to get your life back.
it is possible to leave an abusive relationship.
and it is possible to find true happiness and real love.
i am proof.
