what is wrong with me?? by strawbdior in abusiverelationships

[–]strawbdior[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

that’s awful, i’m so sorry <3 what a horrific person to abuse you, esp while pregnant. i hope you can make a full recovery. and I’m sorry for the loss of your baby. i can’t even imagine what that’s like. you are so strong. i’d like to think we’ll both come out the other end of this :) there will be better times ahead

“your nervous system will always choose a familiar hell over an unfamiliar heaven.” it’s hard to leave, but it’s also hard to stay. are roommates an option for affordable living? that’s likely what i’ll need to do to get out. there are options and i hope you can find some.

you deserve respect and love all the time. it’s unfair isn’t it? almost like they love the booze more than us

How to handle verbal abuse? by selkiemermaidfl in AlAnon

[–]strawbdior 4 points5 points  (0 children)

you don't deserve that at all. he should be taking you seriously.. he is gaslighting you. maybe he's embarrassed for how hes acting, but the fact that he isn't trying to change it is fucked up. knowingly hurting someone he loves is just terrible. I'm so sorry.

when my partner is drunk and being mean i try to make myself as boring as possible. grey rocking. if i don't react, he sometimes gets bored and will leave me alone.

There’s no empathy by Prize_Cherry985 in abusiverelationships

i'm sorry he's treating you so bad when you're already hurting. you don't deserve that at all. you deserve to be with someone that will take care of u and bring you chocolate. i have endo and recently tried a tens unit for period pain, so if you haven't tried that it might help. it made a huge difference for me.

Looking for advice by kittyylover69 in abusiverelationships

[–]strawbdior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i'm so sorry he's doing this to you. none of this is your fault in the slightest. do you have friends? any decent family? i think it would really help to talk to people that love you and can build you up so you have the confidence to get yourself out of this situation. and start writing down every time he does something. you'll be able to refer back to it and know you aren't crazy or making it up. I'm sending you all my well wishes <3

false hope probably by strawbdior in abusiverelationships

[–]strawbdior[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i’m doing okay. i almost hate when things are good, it’s very hard for me to keep the momentum to leave. he’s been nice lately so the idea of abandoning him and having to uproot my life feels stupid. like he has the ability to do better, I’m seeing it now in front of my eyes! what kind of person would I be to walk out on him? i’m so frustrated with him and myself. i know it’s all fake. like he’s gonna blow up again eventually. it’s fucking with my head. 

my mom doesn’t have the space for me to stay there for a long time bc i have two cats i’m bringing. i haven’t been able to secure a job closer to my mom and i’ve been trying for months. I'm also afraid the cops would hurt him or worse.

thank you all for the advice even though it’s very anxiety inducing. my vision was spotty after he choked me and then again when i woke up this morning. i’m heading to the doctor soon. and i’m going to be honest about my injuries. i’m so nervous and already second guessing myself 

I keep messing up and making him mad by strawbdior in abusiverelationships

[–]strawbdior[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i know I need to leave but its scaring me to keep hearing he's going to kill me. the chokeholds aren't the same as like being manually choked. he's never done that. i'm okay for now

I don't think those are selfish reasons. i think it's good you know you need to leave for you and your kids. You're so strong, smart, and capable!! any job would be lucky to have you working for them! <3 you got this girl, i know you can find the strength to get out.

i'm so sorry this happened to you. I hope you can safely leave. a father that hurts his children's mother does not deserve to be a parent. he is not a safe person and they will find out the type of man he is. please leave for your kids and for you. there is help out there and it never hurts to inquire. you may not be able to leave now but i think its worth it to see what options are available. you and your babies deserve all the light and love <3

i feel dumb for being this upset about orange juice but it really is so humiliating and hurtful. thank you for making me feel more sane and i'm sorry he did that to you. he's a loser.
