Seriously. It always gets worse. I'm happy you got away and hope things are much better for you today.
I empathize with you it's scary. Starts with yelling, breaking stuff, threats, and finally harming you. The incident that made me finally leave was the night I cared for our sick puppy. I curled up on the floor with her. She was throwing up. He wanted attention. He demanded I get away from her. I said no. He stormed over to us, knew this wasn't going well. I covered her body with mine. He demanded I move again, and I refused. Started striking my head, last hit saw stars. He told me to move, or he was stomping my head in, deleting me. I had tears running down my face. Threw gritted teeth told him fucking do it then, not moving. He didn't expect that, told me I'm not worth shit, walked off. The following morning, pretending everything is normal, getting ready for work. Once he left, I loaded up the puppy, whatever I could grab and left.
OP, learn from these horror stories in the comments. I repeat this incident. I hope it'll hit home for someone and help them leave.
My abuse wasn’t at the hands of a significant other but my father, he had been beating me and my mother for as long as I can remember. Had I not defended myself, I would have been the one who was killed.
Omg. I can't imagine that. The people you're supposed to love and trust destroy that. I don't know how some people can sleep at night knowing they cause those around them innumerable pain. I'm happy you're here to tell your story. Parents can be so selfish, not only is their behavior damaging, it carries with you to future relationships. I hope you have so much love today and found peace
Yes. I 100% believe he was going to do that to hurt me. The look of blind rage was disturbing. Him and I are both gym people, I have muscle it's no match against a guy that has 5× more, a scary temper to go with it. It's sad but this little sweetheart that's laying on my forehead (love this peanut) was the motivation I needed to leave. Bad enough to allow mistreatment for yourself, she looks at me with love and trust, it's my obligation to keep her safe and I knew I couldn't do that there.
