*TW* Domestic Abuse*
late last night my boyfriend called me while on his way home from a bar in an area of town i never go to because it is the last place my abusive ex lived,and i'm terrified of running into him.
so anyway my boyfriend was going on about how cool this bar is and how we should go there,and when i said i was nervous to he wasn't very sympathetic....said "Well i run into my exes sometimes" i said,"Yeah but he abused me." he said,"Yeah well you let him.why didn't you just leave?"
i was shocked and said "EXCUSE ME???" " i had no money and no place to go and didn't know anyone in the city"
he said."Oh,well.ok.."
WHY do people STILL think it is so easy to leave??
yes i left and went back two or three times (Years are blurred together)
that man had a hold on me,and it took me a long time before i could work up the courage to really leave. then i ended up homeless for awhile.
i'm sorry if i sound like i'm whining right now....i am crazy triggered and do not know what to do with this feeling.

Got a 20% chance of rain forecast yesterday. Got hit by a t-storm that almost knocked out more tree.This is why I watch animals and not a weather channel.Feeling too worn out to do much today, sorry.
"the fear killed the love"..yes.
and i will need to talk about it at my pace..i'm still even trying to do just that with my therapist.
Thank You again.
1. You boyfriend sounds like a potential jerk. The lack of sensitivity is just bad. Send his ass a link so he can get with it.
2. The "Why did you let him comment", I would put it in these words: it wasn't your fault, but it was and is in your control to stop it. I agree it is not that easy to walk away. It takes years for the bastards to stealthy weave their abuse onto you as it were "normal". Therefore, it will likely take longer to walk away and heal from it.
