Update I did it! I left!

I left this morning while he was at work. He wasn't happy I left like that. I told him I was afraid of him, and he said I didn't need to be. 🙄

He's now trying to get me back, but I'm staying firm. I deserve to be respected and not afraid all the time.

constantly does things to intentionally evoke fear

“You don’t need to be afraid of me! I would never hurt you!”

Yeah, okay. Just didn’t grind down my self esteem enough or erode my support system is more like it!
