Thanks for your comments. I have long had a safety plan.

I look forward to getting to know you and learn with you as well.

Hello :)
by: mxkx

Welcome to the site! :) While our situations vary, I can relate to what you are going through. I was in an abusive relationship as well and there were periods of time in which I was enabling him just to "keep the peace" because I was scared of what he might do if I didn't go along with him.

I look forward to seeing what insights you have to offer as you share your journey with us. And I must agree strongly with Don about setting up a safety plan. It's impossible to predict the behavior of someone who is emotionally unstable, so you need a plan set up for if you have to escape the situation immediately because otherwise you may not be able to do so.

Just in case...
by: Don

Hi & welcome!

The first piece of advice I want to make sure you hear is that YOU NEED A SAFETY PLAN! If you are not seeing a counselor about such things it would be good if you could start.

While we here in these forums can respond with experience and suggestions none of this is meant to take the place of professional help, but to add our support and experience.

Having said that...keep coming back and, again, welcome! I know you will be hearing from others who have been where you are.

Don
