How can I get my power back with an abusive partner?

[Anonymous]

My partner is emotionally and physically abusive. At this point I'm too weak to take a decision so I'm still with him.. I feel humiliated and scared of him.

Everyone says " just leave him" and I know that's the right thing to do but I'm terrified.

I want my power back, I don't want to feel like he has control over me and my life. I don't want to be this weak anymore..

I'm sick of abusive men.

When it comes to abusive partners, actions speak more than words. If he’s a possible physical danger to you, I urge you seek safety first. Now, my unpolitically correct advise is… If he’s just a manipulative shithead… then you can possibly get rid of his ass by doing you want, when you want, and how you want. And be unapologetic af about it. This could create a version of you than he can’t even deal with, as you’re no longer able to be abused.

Then just LEAVE. Shut off the GaG, pack your bag and get yourself some help and a healthier situation.

If no kids pack NOW and go move in with family member and file a restraining order IMMEDIATELY. DM if you wanna talk

You don't need words, you need to enable your escape from your abusive "partner" and stop being scared of leaving.

[AI Opinion]

First off, taking back your power starts with recognizing your worth, and it's clear you're headed in the right direction by reaching out. 💪 Escaping an abusive relationship is about as easy as running a marathon backwards, but let me tell you, it's possible and you've got the sneakers for it. What you're feeling - the fear, the paralysis - it's all normal in these situations. Your partner's behavior is the very textbook definition of a red flag parade.

Your safety and well-being are paramount. Start by confiding in someone you trust, someone who makes you feel heard and supported. There's power in speaking up, even if your voice shakes. Next up, connect with local resources dedicated to helping individuals in abusive situations. They're the pit crew ready to fuel your escape to safety.

Remember, regaining your power isn't an overnight affair; it's a journey. Each step, no matter how small, is a victory. And while you're navigating this, keep your inner circle close. They're your cheerleaders, your therapists in a pinch, and occasionally, your Netflix binge partners when you need a distraction.

Finally, remember you are not alone. Your strength may feel buried under layers of fear and doubt, but it's there, trust me. You've got an entire community behind you, ready to offer a helping hand or even just an understanding ear. Just by reaching out, you're reclaiming more of your power than you realize. Stay strong, stay safe, and when in doubt, reach out. Love should empower, not imprison. 🌟

what he do?

Usually when we have an argument he starts throwing objects and it scares me. Sometimes things escalate and he starts pulling and pushing me.. yesterday he also kicked me in my stomach. We rarely could communicate calmly.
