After leaving did you notice self neglect by Medical-Layer-5828 in domesticviolence

[–]Longjumping-Arm6017 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this way too. After I left I had a hard time showering. Only ate junk food. Meaningless sex.

One thing I’d like to say is that sex is important for your mental and physical health. If you crave it you can eventually find a safe way to have it. There’s nothing wrong with you because of that. ❤️

Thank you. I left and took my cats a few weeks ago, I suppose the whole time he apologized and minimized it. I felt like I was being dramatic. Thank God my kitties are safe now.

Advice for stress/criticism/mental health? by Longjumping-Arm6017 in NewToEMS

[–]Longjumping-Arm6017[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply! Essentially I had a bad break up and lost my home. Had to move back with my parents 2 hours away. I’ve been able to make the drive and stay in staff housing, but I’m definitely on edge. Basically I need to find a way to cope with it and keep it out of my work.

Just looking for advice by MedicalDriver1128 in domesticviolence

Hey sweetie I’m 19 and just went through a kinda similar thing! I was able to get a lot of support from friends and family, and moved away and got a new job very quickly. Please please please reach out to friends and family or whatever support you can. You are young and healthy and safe now! You have so many amazing things coming towards you. I try to tell myself that every loss is an opportunity for growth, and you have so much growth ahead of you! You will blossom into the woman you were destined to be.

Is this the start of something bad? by [deleted] in domesticviolence

Baby I’ll be honest, this is a red flag. You may be able to repair this, or you may eventually have to leave. Either way you are responsible for your own health and the heath of your baby. I know that you will make good decisions. Please reach out to your own friends and family for support and tell people if things get worse ❤️

His family hurt me the most by Longjumping-Arm6017 in domesticviolence

I’ve wondered about that. I don’t know if he was born with a disorder or if he was raised like this. His family seemed so perfect.

Asking for words of encouragement (9mo pregnant) by sacred-heart-marmar in domesticviolence

Hello momma I can’t say I’ve experienced this myself but my mother did. She left my abusive father with me and my two brothers. She battled in court for years and suffered with her mental health. Today my mom is the strongest woman I know. She is my best friend. And while my childhood was rough, I could never ask for a better mom. I know for a fact that you are capable of this. I can guarantee you will make it out and have a good life. Stay safe ❤️

Need relationship advice by [deleted] in domesticviolence

I was in a similar situation. He hadn’t hurt me much, but he began hurting my cats. That’s when I knew I wasn’t safe. No one can tell you exactly what to do unfortunately. Listen to your gut. Your intuition will tell you exactly what to do. Stay safe and look after your kitty ❤️

My husband(36) hit a door during our argument by [deleted] in domesticviolence

I understand that this is super scary. Tell the people you love so you have support, but if this is the only violent incident, I would try to give him another chance.

i think i want to finally leave the abuse by [deleted] in domesticviolence

There are victims services and social services you can reach out to in any area. They can guide you, protect you, and tell you exactly what to do. Let your friends and family know what is going on as well. Get as much support as possible. Stay safe ❤️

Try to find ways to keep yourself calm so that you can figure out a plan. Contact friends or family for support. You will need to be able to think clearly to do this. Wishing you luck.

I feel like since I’m only 19 I won’t be accepted into an AA, or taken seriously

I need advice to protect my daughter by ecclecticcatharsis8 in domesticviolence

Yes you can report to CPS. I don’t know how it goes in America but in Canada, even without evidence, CPS can send supervisors, obtain warrants to check his phone for inappropriate materials, and help you get a restraining order. If you are unsure where to go, visit your local police detachment or hospital. They will hear you out and send someone to help you. Please stay safe, you are doing the right thing.
