Controlling

So how do you get yourself out of a controlling relationship with a man that has BPD and bipolar? A man who can be very verbally nasty when things don't go his way, I have 2 children with this man and it's not always been this way, there was a time he was very cautious and respectful of me and my feelings and still there a short episodes when things feel peaceful. But 90% of the time he's down my throat about something. Today he told my sister if I ever went on a night out or wanted to have a drink (alcohol) he would leave me, because "he doesn't know me like that" we met when we was younger I have never been much of a party girl but because I wasn't in my teen years I feel like I'm on a lifelong ban if I want to stay with the farther of my children.. the other day he was down my neck because I don't have the same belief and views as him (he's very big on god) the a few days because caused a massive argument and made me cry because I have a man in my Snapchat contacts that I've known for 6 years! Bear In mind I've not spoken to this person since 2019! this is just a few example of the manyyy endless list of things this man says. His family live 7 hours away and that's the only place he would go if we ever broke up. But no way in hell would he move that far from the children it would cause soo many problems. He would make my life a misery and I know it

You can't worry about what he might potentially do or say you just have to plan to leave.
I spent far too much time in my miserable abusive marriage for fear of what my ex husband might do.
I wake up full of happiness and joy every day that I'm not married to him.
My DS now 40 says it was the best thing ever when we left.
There will no doubt be a period of him pushing your boundaries when you leave, you just have to hand it to the courts to deal with and keep meticulous notes of his behaviour and call the police every single time he harrasses you.
When you leave you will feel so free.
