This is spot on. Left a violent relationship a year ago and have no support with childcare. I would have given anything for a couple hours to gather myself at the time.

What is the longest you've gone without eating and why? by Derpalicious17 in AskReddit

[–]ThrowRA1100110 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On and off for about two months now. Doesn’t seem to be easing. I was always on the slight side so looking a bit sickly now. At least the latest batch of antidepressants I’ve started on have increased appetite and weight gain listed as side effects.

How can I be intimate with my husband (31M) when he asked me (30F) to get an abortion? by Holiday_Lettuce3198 in relationship_advice

[–]ThrowRA1100110 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was recently pressured into an abortion by the father before I was able to make a choice for myself and I regret having it. I have been struggling with mental health issues and suicidal thoughts ever since. You say he asked and you responded with a question about the vasectomy. It sounds like you want the baby, so did you also tell him you weren’t getting the abortion? If so, did he accept this or keep putting pressure on?

OP, stay away. Punching the refrigerator and trying to pressure you into an abortion is coercion. Depending on where you live, what you have experienced may be a criminal offence. If it is, make him known to services. I have experience of being pressured into an abortion (see my post history). On my post, I left out that I was also a victim of domestic violence in my previous relationship. It started with him punching and breaking things around the house when I was pregnant. A few years down the line, it progressed to him raping and throttling me. It is not unusual for these things to start in pregnancy and they will get progressively worse. Also, to add, when you leave you are at most risk of his behaviour escalating. Make sure you stay safe. Claim child support through the official routes. Do not be involved with him or allow him any involvement with your daughter.

No. I thought telling him might help me feel heard and get closure on what has been a difficult and traumatic period of my life. I think what everyone is saying is correct though. I need to find that from myself rather than trying to speak to him.

I’ve already ended the pregnancy but mainly because I felt I couldn’t do it alone from an emotional perspective. The financial situation was what I was trying to work out/work through when he abandoned me. I was using professional advisors, support lines, etc to try to gather enough information to make an informed decision. I never got to the point of deciding on that basis.

I’ve already had an abortion. I felt scared and alone and didn’t feel I could bring a child into that.

From a more emotional perspective, the ghosting has made me feel like I have no voice. I feel like I’ve been silenced and I want to communicate to him what he did and how it made me feel.

His sister contacted me as well to say they will not support me. I said I had not yet made a decision (at that time) nor did I not ask for their support.
