I have been dating him for about a year. He was at first very charming, helpful, delightful, many things in common. A few months later, he started to become very abusive verbally and emotionally. I broke it off once with him and he kept calling me. He told me he would get counseling and he did and still sees a counselor. His behavior got better but then he reverted back to his old ways.

He used to take me to all of my doc appointments and places that were too far or too scary for me to drive myself. I have panic disorder. I don't know who else can help me with getting to my appointments. I literally won't go if I can't at least call someone using my bluetooth cell phone.

How can I get a phone buddy to help me drive over a bridge or a short distance on a freeway? I want to cut it off for good, but scared I will lose my help to get me places.
