TW Mental Health / Abusive Relationship
I’ve been with my partner for a little over a year, it started out pretty good, but it’s become really nasty the last few months, to the point that I’m scared. They’ve had opportunities (much more than I have mind you) to access mental health supports, and is already connected but refuses to use them. They’d rather blame everything on the stars, deities, and spirituality. Every bird, every single thing I drop on the floor, even abusive episodes they’d rather blame on the stars than take accountability for or just accept as is. It was one thing when it was to deal with their own struggles, but now it’s being used to excuse their abusive behaviour towards me, and they’re trying to force his beliefs on me even though Ive expressed multiple times in the past (politely) that it makes me uncomfortable and negatively impacts MY mental health. I consider myself spiritual, as I’m a reconnecting native and I do find certain practices helpful, and I’m quite intuitive. I don’t like talking down on others if it’s not hurting anyone, but his are and I’m at a loss, been feeling like I’m surrounded by a lot of negative energy claiming to be “healing” and “feminine” energy. Anyone else have really negative experiences with people that claim the be “witches” but just learned everything on ***/online and rolled with it?

That is a very difficult position to be in with someone you are so close to. Its hard to have someone refuse your offers for help. Only to watch someone spiral into behaviours that cause you pain. Its hard to accept that people can refuse help; help is unconditional. It sounds like you're looking for another solution.
I lived with someone who was going through something similar to yours. I rolled with it for a while figuring it would pass, but it did not. It just became a circular affair, replete with obsessions and compulsions. Eventually I chose to leave because the physical abuse became even greater and more dangerous; I was drugged and attacked and almost had to have a finger amputated after an incident. It did not end well, which is why I now have a personal policy. There is a line I have to draw when people need help, and if they don't get it I just leave.
@azureCoconut2121 spiritual journeys should be your own choice, no one should force religion and beliefs on other people🙁 regarding your relationship, I think you need to start paying attention to the red flags. No relationship should make you fear the other person🙁 hugs you tightly ❤ I hope you make a choice here that makes you happy, not anyone else ❤
