This is why I stay on my own and I am a 100 percent happier because of choosing me and my sons.
I endured verbal and psychological abuse. Five year hard marriage. Nearly had a breakdown. I and our two year old little boy left.
Thank you for saying you realize looking like you with your education helped your situation. I’m so happy for your peace and happiness.
The first guy I lived with physically and mentally abused me. I live by myself and I am happy 😊 I love me ❤
I'm really sorry you went through that, and so happy to read you're doing well, now. Wishing you a happy, beautiful life.
The way this was communicated in such an articulate way was like reading a book in one breath. I've never been through such an extreme, but I can so appreciate what she's talking about. I wish I could have such a lady in my friends circle.
I was abused in a relationship like this one. For 3 years. The first year was the most love I’d ever been in, or received. The last two years were me trying to get out.
He would threaten to kill my animals and family.
And he was capable of just about anything.
I was 20 years old.
The day I finally left. I had come home late from a friends birthday party.
Every single possession on mine was in one giant heap in the front yard.
All of my clothes, work uniforms, furniture. Every plate, glass in the home.
All broken in the front yard and had paint thrown all over it.
Every single thing I owned.
I called all off the strong men in my life. The police. His parents.
I knew this was not going to go down well.
It didn’t. He went from rage. To love bombing/stalking. He would fill entire exercise books,
front to back. In desperate apologies and begging for my forgiveness and begging me to come back. This persisted for 2 more years. Exercise books of his ramblings. Every day.
I look back and I’m still proud and relieved to have survived him. He absolutely was capable of killing me. ❤
Thank you! ❤ 😢 the part that always amazes me about all abuse stories...is the way they come in to begin with...its like a well thought of plan...win someoneover, isolate, threatening and then begin the verbal & physical breakdown of the survivor......its so sinister. I pray anyone going through this finds the strength to escape!
And how they manipulate you to believe that you are the problem and if you were just more like them then they wouldn’t be mean.
My ex-husband abused me for 8 years. The love bombing is real ! His dad abused his mother... really evil... to the point she was deaf for a while. abused him too. Thank you for sharing your story love ❤❤
The cycle of abuse is very sad and dangerous. I’m glad you got out. 💚
Wow, you are a great speaker. Thanks for sharing your story.
Thank you for your story im also a domestic violence victim and i survived.
You are very courageous. Thank you for your story. You will help many people!
Amazingly powerful. I’m sending to a friend. If she reads this comment. I’m here for you. You have a place to go. I am here for you. I love you G.
Thank you, ive been out 15 months now and still struggle. Police weren't so great but I got out with just my clothes. I've been no contact since.
It's like your antenna goes i the air crackles before it starts. The feeling stays around for a few days afterwards. It takes so much courage to get out. I can only recommend to pack money away in a place you can get it that he doesn't know about. Keep a set of extra keys available. Make copies of w2 forms, checking account numbers, savings and credit card numbers. Keep an exchange of clothes and for your children. I had $10 and two children the last time i ran. There are agencies that will help get back on your feet. When you get a lawyer, make sure they are on your side. Be prepared to fight for yourself. You can survive.
It it feels like a fairytale, it is not real. I know that now. Mine attracted me through pity as well too. Thank God you survived...
You are so incredibly brave. Thank you for sharing your story ❤
Thank you for telling your story. I was a widow and I Meg this man not that long after my husband died, I thought he was a nice kjbd man like my husband....but it wascan act...it took me 15 years to get away from him..
He took every ounce of self confidence I had....but I am free now and have been for the past 7 years.
But I don't mix with people anymore, I keep myself to myself...I'm not really unfriendly, it's just that I cannot trust anyone at all anymore.....I am so pleased you took your courage with both hands and got yourself away ❤
My story is near indetical to yours. Mine was a day and a half before the wedding for the first brutal beating. The abuse was right off the bat. Food in the face guns to the head, etc. Listening to my son scream "He's killing her! She can't breathe! He's killing her!!!" Broke me. I wasshown where I would be buried in the crawl space daily! I was officially kidnapped, beaten, tortured, etc for days (wasn't the first time thought either.). I was also pregnant. Even leaving I was stalked, run of roads, murder for hire plots. Multiple lifetime protective orders........ I was told by his own colleagues and his own family, he was going to kill me. He was a former K-9 deputy sheriff and Sergeant in the Army Rangers as well. He got away WITH SO SO MUCH! I was also raised by a very very decorated officer and knew better! I still fell prey to his predatory evil soul! He was given 28 yrs. He'll see the BOP THIS MAY 2024! After 5.5 yrs! Tell me how?! How does this happen?! When he kidnapped me the last time, the first words out of his mouth when multiple swat teams came to take him (even made big time news. Not the flex I ever wanted! Lol!) was "Well....guessing the baby died then?!"
Your story was my story years back. Same MO from that ex. I lived 3 years of misery, being a DV. I fled abroad, planning my escape for a year. I am glad I was able to escape...so many dont. Put yourself first...thats a big lesson.
i love her so much, especially at the end when she says she was lucky and why
Hi me too I'm a domestic abuse survivor my mam was too she s passed on since 2017 it's always better to leave in my mam's time in Ireland it was very difficult to leave it was a bit easier for me although it's always difficult I had the issue with the miniskirt too god bless
You just brought me out of my denial
What a beautiful soul...and she has my late Mommy's name...She confirmed that I am on the right path, of just loving and supporting folks, without too many questions but with my actions, deeds and most important, prayer.
Please share this!! It's so important to get stories like this to reach as many people as possible so that we can bring abuse to light and create more awareness!! A loved one has been abused for years and is deep in denial. A story like this may be what it takes to wake an abuse victim out of their deep state of denial. Thank you for sharing.
this is exactly my story too. how sad. meeting him 6 months after we married secretly and ignored all the red flags.
I’ve told people in a round about way that i am in an abusive relationship. My mum is struggling after losing her job, one of my sisters is an alcoholic and no longer in my life and my other sister is super successful and works and has her own friends and life. I have no one anymore. My life has dissolved to just be about him. I am a mother of 3 children but this man had the power to take me away from my family and support network and I am now in a position where I am too scared and alone to ask for help because of the fear of social services taking my children away. He has said he will tell them I am mentally unstable and need locking up
Talk to someone, your doctor, kids pediatric, they can sometimes help you from the office. It will get better. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
I’ve never been in any abusive relationship but I’ve learned a lot from this video , things I would of never of seen as red flags . With an accidental hair pull im crying I cannot imagine what you had to go through . ❤
Thank you for telling your story! You told it so well!
FANTASTIC she got out alive!!
Many.dont.
This is the scariest thing I've ever watched
Well said, so true!
I'm so sorry you went through all this grief and pain 💔 thank God you made it out God bless you 😇 and everyone been through this horrible behavior 💔💔😇 so so true men are abuse just like women 💜 so true
thank you!
Thank u sooo much for this... Much needed ❤❤❤🤗🙏
Thank you for sharing ❤
Excellent presentation! Thank you ❤
Thank you
So grateful to come across your vdo. You are so inspiring.
The last night the last beating I ran from where we lived half dressed got to my friend's house and called the police and we got back to get my daughter it's always bthe best choice to leave the police told me one of them leave now when your young it'll never stop cos it never will
My real life hero !😊
Such an inspiring and informative story.
You are amazing to share this story. Thank you for being genuine and a good model to many victims and survivors out there ❤😊
Vero important story.
Wow!
Scariest part would be realizing that either you leave or you’re choosing to be killed. It may not be today, it may not be some time down the road. But if you don’t leave, you’re choosing to be murdered.
This was lovely ❤
😢I am glad that, you decided to get out of that situation. I know exactly what you went through 😢
I got the very opposite from everyone, you made your bed, lye in it. It’s much harder to get away when there is no help. You did everything right, you are correct about how this works. But you give the idea that there is help out there. Sometimes that’s not true. The police, judge, family friends blamed me.
Wow poor girl, at the time.
i read her book i loved it
The reason why most people in domestic abuse relationships can’t get any help and don’t survive is because no one believes them...the police, their friends, family members, etc That wasn’t the case in this video.
I CHOOSE ME, OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN!!!
🙏
"If you're someone that looks like me, you get more help".
You were married to a Demon. I thank God you survived, are brave, transparent, strong and you chose you. I wish EVERY victim would be treated the same way, so they know they too are valuable. Keep speaking and helping because this is your PURPOSE.
As you describe how it started it reminded me of when I met my ex
Strangers believed me, not family and friends 😢
It's best to not have children with these monsters because, they will abuse the children as well.
I was beaten and strangled by my older partner when I was 17. he was seeking someone young and impressionable. he wasnt a psychopathic manipulator like this ladys abyser. more brute force. this is awful. eventually I was able to get away and he went to prison
Abusers are victims of abuse. And they are very selfish
Not in all cases were they victims; Sociopathic-Narcissistic Personality Disorder is a mental illness.
Im a victim of abuse, n i chose not to be abusive. Its their choice as an adult n its horrible. They r selfish
I’m also a victim of domestic violence
He beat me and threatened to kill me and he hit my face and twisted my hand right now it’s swollen
I’m still around coz I still love him
I actually sometimes feel like maybe I triggered him and maybe I deserved it
U don't deserve it.
You didn't trigger it or deserve it. They can't control themselves. I understand that you love him and feel bad for him. But you don't deserve this. Just read a lot about domestic violence and watch videos and it'll help you see the truth eventually. The book Why Does He Do That by Lundy Bancroft is also really good to understand what's going on. I'm praying for you to get out safely and realize that you sacrificing your life to help them still won't make them treat you good. You deserve to live in peace and safety
A sob story needs to be checked always ! Especially coming from a “man”. Background check ….
What eventually happens to disturbed men who act this way?
I thank God that I descerned all that early. Just throwing the credential is a big red flag, so I stayed away
Demonic
It's always the same story: the guy's really "cute" or "handsome, with blue eyes" and "he says I'm beautiful". If these are your priorities and values, you're going to be vulnerable to cruel manipulation.
Unfiltered?
21:00 min No it doesn't. ... FOH
A very evil person
All the poor me Pittung a mere mortal over life itself. YOU ALLOWED IT You stayed. Take your own responsibility!!!
It was also God helping you. He talked through the mouth of the police. I don't know but have you already accepted Jesus and are you born again? This will protect your life forever. The only way to heaven is Jesus. We must be born again for God to dwell in us. He alone can forgive our sins and heal our wounds. No one wants to miss God. He is why we live. ❤️
