i have been in an emotionallt abusive relationship for 9 years. Thats hard to type, feel like im starting to admit that to myself more then anyone else. My partner has minipulated me in lots of different ways. But i dont know how to find the strength to leave him i feel very trapped.
Right now the current episode is over his mother. We have a 5 month old child together. His mum interferes whenever she can in anything from.dummy usage, car seats to what he eats she has an opinion on everything. How i do anything is wrong and need to do it her way. I try to grin and bare it but its very hard at times as my partner isnt honest with me. He texted me from work yesterday telling me to start feeding our son solid food that afternoon he thinks he needs it. She never breast fed her kids so has a real problem with me doing it, has wanted me to stop for months. Anyway i said to him is this coming from you mum. He kicked off saying why bring her into basically.. it was from her and didnt come home last night and has now blocked me from contacting him. He will be at his mums. I feel like im walking on egg shells with him im not allowed to say anything, im expected to put up with all this shite he does to me. When i was heavily pregnant he kicked a hole in our stair case because i loaded dish washer incorrectly. Before we moved house 3 years ago he grabbed me by the neck and disappeared again for 10 days. I called the police to report him as missing ended up telling them what happened and they arrested him and cautioned him. But i had him back. He hasnt physically hurt me again but its volatile with him. I dont know how to stop myself from going back into this relationship. I need help. Ive rang domestic abuse helpline but its engaged can only leave a voicemail. Im scared i wont make it as a single parent and him and his mum will try to take my son off me. I just feel so alone.
