I’ve walked away from him he’s hit me and left me with a black eye after calling me all sorts blaming me

Well done for taking that step and putting yourself first. I wish I had your strength. You’ve got this. Hopefully this is the start of him helping himself.

I’m so sorry Shell. You deserve so much more. Have you contacted Women’s Aid or the National Domestic Abuse Helpline for some support?

Yes. Partner to partner abuse is considered domestic even if you don’t live together. There is also familial abuse which is considered domestic… like a daughter hitting a mother or being verbally abusive or controlling.

Not unexpectedly Shell. What you’ve been through is very traumatic.
What are you feeling? Have you got anyone you can talk to outside of on here?
Have you thought about reporting it to police? Victim support would be there for you too.

Hi Shell
That is good that you’ve spoken to Victim Support. I’m glad they were able to signpost you to some services who might be able to help you.
A lot of people don’t realise they are being abused. There are so many different types of abuse. Some of it can be quite covert, subtle and co-ercive.
Even when a person is being more obviously abused, it doesn’t necessarily make it any easier to get away from or to stop. Abusers are very good at manipulating situations to make you feel scared to leave or end a relationship.
You might want to look up Trauma Bonding and Co-dependence. It’s common to feel love for the person – especially the good side of them and the person you thought you were getting etc.
