A couple of weeks ago a girl posted here about how her significant other screamed at her for pooping. Someone commented that she should read Why Does He Do That by Lundy Bancroft. I decided to read it and it helped me realize my husband was abusive. Deep down I knew he was, but I was living in denial and scared to accept the truth.
Last week I left him. I’m heartbroken for the life I imagined we would have together but I no longer live in the delusion that that life is possible with him. I’m proud of myself for leaving before my baby got old enough to see how he treated me. I’m proud of myself for keeping my baby safe.
