i under stand what ur sayin
im in the same spot
what im workin on is the only thing that i have some control over. my self. my mind and feelings and how i treat my self
is that some thing u can try?

I'm so sorry. I had no idea.

I do feel that way of having no way out because I am stuck with my emotionally abusive family during the pandemic, even though my state is in the green phase.

There is always, a way out. You just have to find your way out. Find some new friends or room mates or live alone. It is better then being abused. But I get where you are coming from, i'm in the same boat, i'm stuck with my abuser right now, he just broke up with me and we just got a house together, the house is in my name, but I just want out, I am ready to give up everything I have just to get away from him.

I'm so sorry you're stuck but if it helps you're not alone. There are a lot of us on here stuck in bad situations that we wish we could escape from but sometimes it's just not that easy as simply walking away. Life can be overly complicated sometimes but you have to do your best to endure and hope that eventually your situation will improve.

I hope yours does and soon.. I've been trying for almost 17 years now to improve mine but as I said.. sometimes it's complicated.

Good luck and God bless!

Hi NotVerySmart,

First off, give yourself some credit for recognizing the toxicity and knowing you need to get out. Could you give us a state and maybe we can do some research for you?

There's always a way out. I got involved with a woman who did a number on me. I was weak before I met her due to some setbacks in business and some other areas. I was vulnerable and I fell for her and so hurting that I never say the red flags.

I was so emotionally invested in the relationship but I knew it was just getting too crazy. I wrote and recorded a song about her. https://soundcloud.com/user-316831637/heartbreaker-soul-taker

It's tougher if kids are involved but there are still things you can do to mitigate the damage and pain.
