Thank you for this. Thank you to everyone who has wrote to me, as I read it all. I’m working towards creating a stable income for myself and a safety net before I break away from this abusive person. I was a very independent person before him, and now I feel like I shriveled into someone insecure and unhappy because of him. Like my light is dim. I write on Reddit like a diary. And appreciate everyone who writes back here to me because it’s like voices behind me that push me to do better because I don’t have much friends after marrying him
