Hello, I have hesitated posting here, using it souly as a last resort. I have been in a two year relationship with a great girl. She's intelligent, motivated and as I really thought, a good person. She however has had major anger issues if events do not go how she plans or things go how she wants. This got to the point of being violent. I am six foot four and a big guy, she's about five foot ten but doesn't hesitate to throw her weight around. The violence escalated to the point of deep tissue bruising on my forearms and really sore back. I have pleaded with her to stop, when I do she yells to the point where neighbors are pounding on the walls. I am in no way perfect, this has to be made clear, but I do not believe that physical or emotional violence should be allowed. I later confessed her behavior to her mother in which she laughed and told me "Just sit on her if she's violent." I don't think I ever felt so hopeless at that kind of response from her mother. Her family are all scientologists and are extremely preachy when it comes to their beliefs and how to "Deal with things" I grew up as a Christian, not the type to stone you for being homosexual, just a good natured person that doesn't believe in harming anyone or trying to convert people to something they do not want. Her and her family have tried this with me and I very kindly refuse, they become very--angry is the only word I can think of. I feel like it's a different language when trying to even talk to her, and it gets worse the more she's with her mother. What makes this worse is that I am living with her, her mother and brother. I lost my job and am looking (I work in the film industry as a digital artist and matte painter). Everyone argues in this strange way that escalates to throat ripping yelling and terms from their religion that are already standered words, just renamed by the leader of their cult, I mean religion. I've spent many long nights contemplating grabbing my overnight bag, which I have filled with clothes in the closet already and just leaving. I have threatened to call the police after my girlfriend without me knowing slammed my back into the ground, causing it to be sprained for over a week. Her mother told me that "You can leave, if you ever call the cops on anyone the relationship is over." I told them that if you're violent and abusive physically and emotionally that wouldn't the relationship be over already? Of course they had nothing to say. I was told by a good friend to file a report, just in case something happens. When this happened again, not even two months ago I felt like I couldn't take it any longer and had 911 dialed in my phone, she grabbed it from me, refusing to return it and told me if I were to call them she would threaten that I raped her. I don't understand how or why. I have been forced out of house to "take a walk" if I ever question anything or speak up. Again, I am not a perfect human being. I do not try to make people anything but happy. Reddit, I don't know what to do. This girl is really great, but I can't marry or have children with someone that's abusive or so frightening with their religion. TL;DR- Girlfriend is abusive, threatens to tell police lies considering I'm bigger than she is. Has really frightening ideas regarding her religion which is scientology. Living with her family, lost job. Frightened and do not know what to do.
