I have been living with a verbally abusive partner for 12 years now absolute rampaging demon when she wanted to be. I have 2 kids with this woman who I love immensely. Slowly it has become worse and worse year after year. After discovering this community I had a light switch on in my brain. After 100s of times of her screaming for me to leave over the years this time today I said fine I got up and left. Idgaf anymore I feel bad for my kids but i just feel so damn free. Im pretty sure she will still let me see them and I will take care of them forever but that bitch is dead to me. She is so fucked. She dont know how good she had it.
