TW: abuse, addiction, mental health


How do I end my relationship with my abuser for good? I escaped the home we lived in together and am physically safe now. But he wont let me let him go completely and move on with my life.

I dont know why I'm in this secret relationship with him its literally so stupid of me to allow him to continue having power over me. I feel so ashamed and guilty and I would feel humiliated if my family found out I'm with him after everything hes done to me.

Can someone help me talk this out please? I really dont know how much longer I can do this and I'm not sure how to get away from him for good.

I feel this so hard because I'm living through something similar.

Separated from my husband in October...went back. About a month ago, I said I was done but I went back.

Now I'm done again. Trying to make a rock solid plan this time to leave for good.


Feel free to message me. I'm here.<3

@kindCircle3085- most importantly- are you in a safe place right now? Since you are in an abusive situation many communities have resources to counsel and guide you through the process of leaving the relationship in phases. So you can get on with your life. I hope you have such resources where you live.
