Hi all,
This week I left an abusive relationship with my partner. I've been living with a narcissist with terrifying rages. We could never have anything nice in the house as he would break things. He would scream at me, mock me, spit, shake me. I often had to literally run out of the house and go to my parents house, staying there for days with nothing but the clothes on our backs, or lock me and the kids in the car while he smashed holes in walls and broke furniture. We have a 6 month old and a 5 year old. Our 5 year old just started school, and the night before he flew in to a rage. I took my babies out of bed and went to my parents. I don't want our children to be afraid ever again. I ended the relationship and he has flown to another city to stay with his sister. I gave him all my savings to go and leave us so he wouldn't sell all of my furniture. Last night he text me to say he will do anything to save his family. Can we work things out....He would even get help with his anger. I said no.... this has gone on for too long and I won't put our kids or me through all this again. Then he said he wants absolutely no contact with us ever again and he will show me how cold he can be. My daughter Miss 5 loves her father. They are close and she worships her Dad. She is already struggling and sad about Daddy not living at home. She crys for Dad before she falls asleep and talks about him non stop. I thought he would try and keep contact with his own children at least. I'm glad to see the back of such a hurtful man but what can I say to my kids if he won't see them again.
