I am in an abusive relationship

I am in an abusive relationship.

My abuser controls everything I do!!!

What I can eat, what I can wear, when I can put on makeup, how I do my hair, who I can talk to, when I can leave the house, and what I can do.

Sometimes my abuser won't let me sleep...at all.

My abuser has harmed me. Caused me a lot of pain, anxiety, stress, and physical, mental and emotional problems.

Every. Single. Day.

My abuser has made it so friends and family no longer come around. What a control freak!

My abuser has harmed me so much that I can't think straight anymore.

My abuser makes me so very angry!

But my abuser won't listen to me, won't go away and won't leave me alone! No matter what I've tried!

I've gone to professionals but what they did for me didn't help...it made things worse. Now I don't feel I can trust them.

I don't know where to turn or what to do.

I wish I would have never met my abuser!

The name of my abuser?
