Seeking gentle support after recognising abuse and coercive control

Hello. I posted on here last July and the previous post can be seen following this link.
It was kindly suggested to me to consider doing another post to maybe get further support. I’m not sure where I’m at emotionally and truly what I want. It’s a process I guess and I think it will be a long tough one 😞
I can’t really say what I need but I’ve spoken to Women’s Aid who have said there’s sexual abuse, financial abuse and coercive control in my relationship of 24 years. Any support, gentle advice, or a virtual shoulder to lean on is much appreciated.

Thank you everyone. That means a lot. There’s so much conflicting information it’s so hard to know what to do, but I’m glad to you’ve all confirmed what I thought. Shows that I’m getting something right 🙏
