Please help, I can't take any more.he is verbally and emotionally abusing me. I said I wanted to leave over 2 months ago. He tried every tactic to get me to stay. Now he knows he can't he's bullying and manipulating me. I need to leave. I have a young child and he is trying to use that to control my actions. I am seriously considering a women's refuge. My mental health is absolutely battered.

Last night he threatened he could take our child and not tell me where he was going. I can't sleep or eat

Definitely get in contact with Women’s aid, they will be able to help and advise you in breaking free from him.

Please contact Women’s Aid.

What is your living situation? Is it a joint mortgage or tenancy?

If you are worried for your safety call the police. He doesn’t have to hit you, coercive and controlling behaviour is a crime x

My mum is going to come to stay with me from today. At least he can't bully me when she's here

Who’s house is it?

It's a joint house in both of our names

Hi, I'm not married or a mom but also wanted someone to relate to. I'm so sorry you're going through this. I've been with my partner for 10 yrs. Looking back, from the beginning, there was mental and emotional abuse. For years now, he's used the silent treatment to manipulate me. It makes me feel like trash. I tried to leave once last year but he wouldn't let me. He said I worthless without him. I wasn't strong enough to stand my ground. He promised to change, to stop throwing things, breaking things, screaming at me, disrespecting me. Up to today, he is doing these things. I've started to get panic attacks and crazy anxiety. Which he also has so you'd think he would understand but somehow his anxiety always trumps mine. I've lost all my close friends over the years because he's had issues with many of them. The friends I do have are his friends too so i cant confide in them. I can't tell my family because they would worry too much. Essentially, I'm alone. I live in fear everyday worried that i will trigger his anger.
