TLDR: survivor of 10 years of abuse from my ex-husband. Found out he's abusing a new victim. What can I do? I Was with my ex for 10 years (to the day) when I had him arrested. He was going to take my life and I was able to run for help. Out of fear and guilt i retracted my statement and had all felony charges dropped. He jumped into a new relationship and began abusing her pretty quickly. He has been able to get out of quite a few run ins with law enforcement in regards to domestic violence but he was recently arrested and charged with harassment. I tried to stay out of it but I talked to his ..read more

$600 down the drain

After everything going on the last few weeks, he’s been pestering me about why I’m so sad and withdrawn. I told him that I’m reconsidering a lot in my life and need to make some big changes. I think he knew I was talking about our “relationship” and he ripped apart two of my nice bags I use for work and poured vinegar on my box of nail supplies that had over $500 worth of supplies in it. Everything is destroyed. I don’t know what to do. He’s hurt me before and destroys my stuff every time he’s upset. He’s threatened my animals before. I’m too scared to even leave the house out of fear I’ll co ..read more

How do I know if what I am going through is real abuse? And if it's something I need to leave from?

Of course it's easy to do this from one side so I would like to try and be neutral. I love this man he's an amazing dad, we have 3 kids. We've been together for 7 years. He doesn't hit me or hurt me like that but he yells. When he's mad, sad, hurt, sick whatever he just yells. At this point it's painful to me. He says things when he's mad to hurt me genuinely and then tells me afterwards it was all a lie to make me upset and he's sorry. I won't lie I've been mad and I've yelled myself but this is something I've made a point to monitor because we have 3 kids and I DONT want them to hear anythi ..read more

My dad is abusing my mom and I don’t know how to help her

This is my first time posting on here so I apologize if this post is all over the place or if it's unclear since there's just a lot that has happened. I’m also not sure if this is the right place to talk about this. The abuse is mostly emotional and verbal. It is rarely physical but when it is I was never there to witness it. Sometimes he has fits of rage where he breaks her things or he throws things at her.The abuse has been going on for most of my life but have gotten worse in recent years. They have been together for 20 years. They can't afford to divorce and if they did divorce, my mom w ..read more

He’s staying with a friend

We are “trying out” separation right now. After the incident that ruptured my eardrum, we had a week of promises to get help. Then he put a pillow over my head on Sunday. He didn’t do anything physically. But he basically put the couch cushion over my body and said “do not speak or move” and went on to destroy his desk. By the third desk punch, I ran for the door. I don’t know. I’m so fucking confused. He keeps acting like I’m ridiculous for thinking that the cushion meant he would smother me. Last time he choked me, I bit him to get his arm off me, and this felt like an escalation to prevent ..read more

I am not sure what to do. My original DV case happened in 2016. The five year order is expiring in 13 days. He didn’t violate the protection order but I still want it. Do I want it for my feelings of safety or revenge? The case ended with them pleading guilty and then not doing anything for probation and getting in trouble and ending up in 2 weeks in jail. I felt furious that they downgraded the charge but I got a some kind of justice. Maybe I should let it go and see what it’s like not being linked to this person. Because of our history I have learned tools to protect myself. I am here askin ..read more

I stayed quiet in court today

I had a story to tell. I wanted my voice to be heard. If I spoke up though, he could have possibly received an 8 year sentence. So I stayed quiet. Because of this he'll likely do 0 jail time up to no more than a year, 4 years of probation and mandatory battered women's classes. This is enough I think. So I stayed quiet but I definitely had a story to tell. submitted by /u/goodpersongonebad [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

How do you move on?

I am wondering how individuals move on from the psychological devastation caused by an abusive partner? I am trying to deal with all the lies my ex shared with his family, colleagues and friends; how he told them I was delusional, manic, prone to psychosis and not trusty worthy. Context: I have C-PTSD stemming from childhood and centred on physical, sexual and emotional abuse. He used my diagnosis as a weapon to make me look like a monster to those on the outside and kept me isolated from my friends and family since COVID began. submitted by /u/trauma-widow [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

He hurt me again

My partner hurt me again yesterday. He left bruises again and verbally abused me for an hour straight. He threatened to kill me. He thinks it's okay to "convince" me to have sex with him he bugs me about it until I say yes after I have already told him no. I don't want to be intimate with him because of how he has treated me over the last few years. It's just getting worse and I don't know if I can deal with it any more but I don't want to take my son away from him. I don't want him to hurt himself which I know he will do if I leave. submitted by /u/SherbertPersonal2048 [visit reddit] [comme ..read more

My abusive story

This is my story. I was raised in a household with an abusive father. Ever since I was young I was hit by him and verbally attacked by not just my dad but my mom as well. My mom would blame me if I stood up for myself. And she would say things like "why do you always feel sorry for yourself". She did that while she enabled my dad to verbally and psychically abuse me. I remember he tried to choke me once. Along with putting his fist up to my face more than once. It was really unsafe for me. They blamed me and said that I was the problem. They gaslight me, and it would lead to my bad self estee ..read more
