Hello everyone-
I dont know if this is the right place for me to post about this but...I am feeling lost and figured what the hell! I have been in a relationship for over 6 years, I have never been more in love with someone, or gotten as much supposrt from someone! I thought I would be with him forever, we have an almost 5 yr old son together and had basically a good relationship. Had fights or arguments like anyone does. Then saturdayeverything changed....

After a very harsh verbal abuse session (in which he even told me I should try and kill myself just like my mom tried!) He left and I told him to not come back for the night. I figured we both needed the time to think. After about an hour of him being gone he came back...my chain was on the door and he wanted in...he broke through the door and came in and attacked me. I also had my son in the bed with me so I was trying to protect him.

Anyway I am essentially ok brusises and pains and bumps will go away eventually....I just am lost and emotinally numb! I am telling you all this just to ask for prayers and support! I know I have to be done with that relationship and that scares me to death. But I guess it has to be!

Well thank you for listening...I am safe with my aunt carol so I can try and get through this!! I honestly don't know what I would do without you auntie!!!!! Thank You as always!!!!

Amber,

I am so sorry this happened to you and your son. Please take care and the physical injuries will heal but the emotional ones will take longer.  It's always more difficult to deal with when you have trust in the person that hurts you.  I thank God you have a safe haven with Carol.  Prayers going up for you and your family.

Big Hug,
Bonnie

My prayers are with you. I know what you are going through. It took me several acts of violence and many years to get out of a relationship like that. And just like you, I never ever thought it would happen.

I hope you find the strength to make the right choices for yourself. I am praying for the strength for you!

Be strong. You can do this.
If I can do something, please let me know.
You never deserve to be treated that way.

Amber~(((((((((HUGS)))))))))))) As Bonny said in her response the pains and bruises will heal, however it is the emotional wounds that will take time to heal.  I am so grateful that you have your Aunt Carol, she is a wonderful woman and I know that she will make sure you and your kids are safe.  I will say some extra prayers for you that you are able to break off all ties with him and that he does not bother you as I have learned guys are want to do.  You are a strong, beutiful, wonderful woman and you deserve nothing but the best.  Yes, being alone after being in a long term relationship can be scarey (I know from experience) but if you can get through the first couple of months it will get better, I promise.  Please do n ot listen to any of the verbal abuse he spewed at you because they are all lies.  I pray that you are able to begin healing both physically and emotionally.  Let me know if you need anything.  Love & Hugs! Nicole
