Hi Broken,
Thank you for sharing here today. This is a huge amount for one person to be dealing with and we are glad that you have found us here. We hope this community can be a supportive space for you. Please know that you're in a safe space for doing so here, with a lovely community of kind and understanding people.
Abuse is never okay. We’d recommend reaching out to 1800RESPECT to get support with this. You can contact them on 1800 737 732 and they also have webchat here. They are experts in supporting people who are experiencing abuse and will listen in a kind, understanding and non-judgmental way. If you are ever in immediate danger, 000 is the number to call. Your safety is priority.
If you ever want to talk, please know that there’s always someone here for you to talk it through with. The Beyond Blue counsellors are available 24/7 online, here. If using the phone would be difficult for you, you can reach them via webchat too. We’re sure we’ll hear from our lovely, supportive community soon. In the meantime, here’s a few things you might like to look at:
- Blue Knot’s advice on self-care for survivors of trauma and abuse
- 1800 RESPECT’s advice on healthy relationships.
- Relationships Australia’s advice on communication in relationships
We are here to support you and you are not alone. Thank you so much for sharing here. Please feel free to share a bit more and let us know what is going on for you, and what might help, if you feel comfortable.
Kind regards,
Sophie M

hello and welcome.
firstly I hope that you don't mind a short reply from me. And for you to come here and write down your story takes strength and courage.
You are not crazy for wanting answers, and you deserve so much better. This sounds like a very unhealthy relationship. Leaving is incredibly hard... but I cannot tell you what you should do. Only you can determine what is best for you. Focus on your strength - you've gotten through a lot already. Focus on yourself and prioritize your safety and well-being.
Listening if you want to chat more ...
