It’s so difficult to understand why people stay until they are ever in the situation themselves. It doesn’t happen overnight but a gradual process of taking your self esteem and self worth away slowly. Get out now 😢 would be my biggest bit of advice to anyone suffering from this type of behaviour because it only gets worse.

pig needs to be locked up. I was in a domestic abuse relationship in Ireland in the early 90s and could not get a barring order because we weren't married. That was how things were then in Holy Catholic Ireland. My son witnessed him almost killing me and he was only 7. We were split up and he came back to the house to see his son. Best thing getting out of that situation. these men isolate you and have a tendency for jealousy and alcohol abuse. Unfortunately, he was a street angel house devil and family did not believe me.

[melliecrann-gaoth]

Very important to talk about. Great woman. Steps to Freedom- 4 part Irish Podcast. Listen.
