Hi Ultraviola, I know exactly how you feel but I can tell you personally that at first I, too, hesitated to tell anyone. Even my friends. But as I said just a few things, it surprised me to hear that they didn't even know any of this was happening because I hid it for so long and looked happy on the outside. If anything, my friends and family saw me as a strong woman who did the hardest thing I have ever done which was to walk away and break the cycle. I would be honored to hear your story so please feel free to reach out if you just need an ear or a shoulder to rely on. We ar

This was beautifully written and I feel your pain. I really appreciate you sharing this because I can only imagine the courage it takes. Keep going ❤️

Thank you missfrier❤️

Hi missfrier, I guess I just don't really know where to start? Part of me wants to tell all of the trauma but then I think about how much of it I dealt with (and I know other people out there have had it much much worse), I guess I just feel ashamed or silly because I can't believe I stayed through all the toxic behavior for as long as I did.

Thank you so much Mary, I really appreciate your kind words

Hi everyone, I have never done this before so I am not sure what to even expect but I guess I will start by saying I am 28 years old woman. I just left my 4 and 1/2 year relationship that was mostly filled with cursing at me, yelling, threatening me, blackmailing me and just empty promises of changing but it never actually happened. I don't really know where to go from here but I do know that I need to go from him since it is never going to change. I am starting therapy and hoping to find my way forward but I would love some advice from anyone man/woman who has been through something toxi
