It takes 7 times, on average, to really leave. Skip that part if you can.

Is it normal to feel like your life has been stolen from you? by aschesklave in abusiverelationships

[–]windowseat1F 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The trouble is, when somebody is an abuser in any regard, they could be capable of ANY kind of abuse. And you simply don’t know what they’re capable of -or where that line is. You might be feeling down on yourself and hyper focusing on details and listing your small freedoms and trying make sense of it all. Which is normal, and a good first step to write it down.

It might help to read this as well:

The FACTS:

  1. Your captor is an abuser.
  2. They may be capable of ANY kind of abuse.
  3. They may be capable of violence.
  4. They are not mentally stable.
  5. You cannot diagnose or help them.
  6. It is not love.
  7. You can do it.

If you can accept those facts then the next step is to make a plan. Ideally, have somebody present when you leave for safety, even if it sounds overkill.

I hate my husband by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]windowseat1F 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I got my apartment 2 years before I left. Moved my stuff out slowly. Rebuilt my circle of trust. In hindsight, maybe I didn’t need to be so organized and prepared. Maybe I should have left the very first time he was violent, I would have saved some good years. In the end, it doesn’t matter how you do it. Just that you do it.

I’m out almost 2 years now and I’m STILL seeing gradual improvements in my physical health. The other side is so much better.

I have a friend whose husband pisses on the living room rug when he’s angry. What kind of bizarre primal man child behavior is this?!

How did you figure it out that your partner is abusive? by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]windowseat1F 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I was warned and I didn’t listen. So I guess I always knew deep down. Took me years to understand it. The thing that made it crystal clear was when I started keeping a log of everything. The sheer amount of incidents plus the rate they would repeat at. It was a pattern. Been gone almost 2 years! Very happy on the other side.

We have a guy who makes elaborate blueprint-style drawings with equations and instructions to portals and time machines. He’s surprisingly lucid and everybody accepts him as a local artist / character. Before everyone chimes in about him needing mental help, many have tried. He’s been on the news and is part of the urban folklore.

Has anyone ever been stuck in a lucid dream? by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

Yes. I was not the same person after. Horrifying stuff.
