To be honest the abuse started right from the beginning but I pretended it was nothing but personality differences. Then the orders became intense, ie don’t speak I speak you sit and be a quiet wife. So I found myself thinking am I right feeling angry or is he right.? The violence came and went but got worse and worse. Sexual when he wanted it I obeyed ( easygoing that’s me felt dirty but showered he is happy no violence but then physical and emotional abuse started again. Until the last time if I had not left him I would be dead. Another panic attack last night trigger having to get my Shelly to put down my socks ( she tears them up) just felt like so tired not a normal tired a tired of WAITING FOR The CPS and the financial court. It’s so frustrating. Who did I always turn to God my silent listener who give me comfort and love. Who did I trust nobody. Love Liz 🙏❤️ SHELLY THE SOCK PINCHER

Hi Liz,

Such a horrible situation to have have endured {{{hugs}}}

Coercive control seems to happen so often in relationships, at this moment I was about to look that up and there is a mass of information.

Thankfully you got away but sadly still suffering, it's too long to wait for a decision!

Here's a link to Women's Aid which may have some ideas about this.

Keep in touch Liz, always here for you. Keep the faith <3
