I am in a relationship with a man who is very controlling and I am somewhat afraid of him. He has never put his hands on me but he has definitely threatened to do so. When he comes home from work, he expects the house to be spic and span with hot dinner on the table. We have three small children and he wants the children to be quiet while he watches his evening shows and eats his dinner.
I am so unhappy being with this man. He says he loves me but there is no way he could love me and treat me the way he does. He won't allow me to work and I hardly speak with my friends. He checks my phone records and computer log (I'm writing this from the library) too.
I really need to get away. My kids and I would be so much happier away from this miserable man.
Have any of your readers been in a similar situation? How did you go about getting away?
Signed,
Desperate to Get Away
Dear Desperate,
ReplyDeleteFirst off, I commend you for being brave enough to send in your letter. I know it probably took you some time to build the courage to reach out. I, personally have never been in this type of situation and I won't pretend to know the perfect solution. I will, however suggest that you tell someone close to you about what is going on and have them be at your side through your journey to freedom.
Contact your local law enforcement and report the threats he has made to you. As hard as it may be for you, you will need to be open and honest about everything with them.
You have already completed the first step by reaching out to us. Keep it going.
I wish you well and all the happiness you deserve.
Hopefully some of our readers can give some more advice.
Walk good,
