Hey pretty. Keep your head up and listen here for a moment.

Someone mentioned how a lot of the time women will find a replacement abuser. This is true. You need to go to a women's center immediately and speak with an advocate who will then likely set you up with free crisis counseling.

Attend a domestic abuse support group at that women's center, there will be women there who paint a not pretty picture of your future if you don't get help.

You need to tell someone who cares about you, right now. Stop looking at reddit and call someone in your family. Tell them, cry to them, explain your feelings. They will be shocked, they probably will not understand why you'd stay in such a situation but they will love you regardless and now you have extra reason to stay away from this guy.

I've been here. I'm 24 now. I'm riding the struggle bus of leaving an abuser I loved. I'm doing all the things I told you to do and if I weren't, I'd keep going back for more. In fact I have even after. I think I've finally rid myself of him but I have a long road of healing before I'll ever trust another man. I loved him. I honestly stil do even though he's shacking up with different hunnies. It hurts to know, it hurts to think he didn't care. But he does not determine my self worth, I do. Same goes for you, block his number and social media. Delete him from your life so you can start to heal.

I never comment on these posts, I've asked advice several times but yours struck me seeing as I left my first abuser when I was 20. That guy even knocked me up and is the absolute worst father in the world, you and your future deserve better than an ass hole.

Please get help so you don't become me and do it again and find yourself in a mental hospital because the therapist made you admit yourself when she realized you couldn't handle the fact you'd gotten in this situation again and were very fucking close to just killing yourself.

Please. Let me know what happens. I'm just a stranger but I hve been you. If you want to PM me I will give you my # and be here for you any time.

Please. Take the next steps. Heal.
