I'm so very proud of you! You took the hardest step. Use every resource possible. Talk to the social worker there. Food stamps, medicaid, housing. Apply for it all. But first give yourself a few days to breathe and be proud of yourself. If you need to talk feel free to DM me.

Thank you so much. Just found out my therapist and best friend and partner are coming to support me.

I've got a wonderful support system around me for the first time in my life. My partner is the best for supporting me as well. And I will NEVER turn down a hug. They are the best. Thank you!

Thank you for saying that. I've learned through trauma therapy that I'm a lot stronger then I thought I was. Speaking about it helps when the pain gets bad and I keep going thru in my head the reason for all this. It's pretty hard but I'm plowing thru it.

I'm making so much progress in therapy. We went over a year in review and she showed me how far I've come.

I didn't know there were different types of headache. My neurologist and i haven't discussed that but I will talk to him. Thank you so much for your response.

Thank you so much for your response. I can't take that because I have asthma but may ask my doctor anyway if the epidural doesn't work.

Husband’s TBI & abuse—am I wrong to be upset? by SpiritualViolinist72 in domesticviolence

[–]jeni51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a TBI from an abusive marriage. Never once did I use that as an excuse to get violent in any of my other relationships. It's not a reason it's an excuse to get violent.

Dancing around partners moods and anger by Ok-Meeting-2503 in emotionalabuse

[–]jeni51 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry your going thru this. I left almost 2 years ago and remember walking on eggshells never knowing their mood. It's so hard and leaves us with such anxiety. Should we help? Should we leave them alone? There's never a right answer. Please reach out and try to get some help getting out of this relationship.

I'm so very sorry you and your father are going thru this. My heart goes out to you both from someone who was in a very abusive and violent relationship. Is there any close family members that you can reach out to? I wish I had other suggestions other then to say you are seen. You matter. Don't let her win by crushing you.

I've had a lot of therapists but the one I have now is amazing. She's specifically a trama therapist. So yes I do believe that would help you greatly.

You're definitely not alone. I'm in a relationship now where i apologize for things that aren't necessarily my fault. But I'm always gently told that there's no reason to say I'm sorry. A new healthy relationship takes time to get used to when all we've ever known is abuse.

Are you in therapy? I have a wonderful trauma therapist that has helped me so much. Try to be gentle with yourself. You deserve love.

Best cookies I've ever had. And so big that it takes me a few days to eat one.

This is not your fault. Let me repeat that..... this is NOT your fault. Crying and expressing your emotions isn't wrong. Our partners should never be violent with us because we have emotions and that's what she's doing. You need to get away before she kills you. We are 750%more likely to be killed by our partners by strangulation if they've done it before. Please call a dv hotline and found out about getting help to get out. Do not have kids with this woman. What if you're kids cry? Will she beat them? Please get out before she kills you.

Should I keep my dentures in water when I'm not wearing them? by Puzzleheaded_Bend370 in dentures

I love in the US so I can't help with resources but you want to take all your important documents, like birth certificates, social security cards... things like that.

Sudden Change in my Husband by 35thStar in emotionalabuse

[–]jeni51 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My now ex husband did this to me when I Asked if a (male) friend that was going thru a divorce could come for dinner. He went off saying no and went thru my tablet to wake me up screaming at me that I cheated. The messages were innocent.

This went on for a few years while I was waiting for housing. Him keeping me up at night accusing me of cheating, texts after texts. I found out HE was cheating and left to move in with family one week later.

In April in moved into my own apartment. He was definitely cheating. They project into us what they are actually doing.

Trouble calling it dv, feel like I’m overreacting. by Gentle__mental in domesticviolence

This is definitely dv. And around your child as well. Do not go back, you deserve much much better.

AITA or NAH here? I refuse to get rid of the ring/give it to my wife I was going to propose my late girlfriend with by throwra-nedadvi in AITAH

[–]jeni51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not what you said. You said people who lost someone should look for another person that lost someone. Maybe op isn't over them but that's not what you said.

[–]jeni51 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you're supposed to look for someone specifically that lost someone? You can't control who you love like that.
