I have left controlling partner of 10 years and moved into my own place. We need to sell the house so my money is still tied up. He has been controlling and emotionally abusive for years. He also has treated the dog badly and refuses to let me have her. He used a slip lead and will discipline her with this. He will pin her to the ground if she does something wrong and 2 weeks ago was trying to kick her as she had misbehaved. I can't stop worrying about the dog as he has no patience and worried he will take his anger out on her more now that I am gone. I am considering taking the dog next weekend when he isn't home but I know he will be fuming if I do this. AIBU? If I knew she was being treated well I wouldn't be considering it
