I've been through abusive relationships, so this is triggering....

Please. Don't stay with a man (woman) who abuses you. You could lose your life.

So sad about this...

The problem is when you're in an abusive relationship a lot of the time you don't even know it.

It wasn't until I escaped and look back that I realise how bad the abuse I suffered was.

I'm also very sad to read about Helen. Nobody should have to suffer what she has.

He's innocent until proven guilty so it's probably best not to discuss this case whilst it's still ongoing. Very sad to hear that a body has been found however, she sounded like such a nice person.

Oh sorry, Girl. Of course. Not proven until guilty.

This is just a general thread about women in relationships with an abusive guy(s) and how you could find yourself buried at the bottom of the garden

I personally did a great thing in moving very far away..
