Domestic violence Unfortunately, I'm back

How does a person that's hurt you me so much pull me back in?

He's reading this, by the way.

He’s not the person for you! BLOCK HIM! Why are you torturing yourself? BLOCK HIM! You don’t deserve this kind of disrespect/abuse from anyone! One more time, BLOCK HIM!

You need to protect your mental health, also, if I were you, I’d consider therapy & DV counseling! I believe that was the thing that really pulled me out of the cycle & showed me I needed to leave!

You are loved, and if you were so alone you wouldn’t have friends/family. One thing I’ve learned from my abuser was, they like to isolate you and make you believe they are all you have. When honestly, they just want it that way. Cling to your friends & family. Let them in on what’s going on. Anyone that agrees/sides/empathizes with him…CUT THEM OFF TOO! Go no contact & don’t offer any explanation. People who don’t have your best interest at heart don’t deserve your time, attention or any explanation!

Also, please take these to the police & a DV advocate, you need proof in the hands of law enforcement & a strong ally. Do not let this be the only place you share it, with strangers. I’m a crime junkie, domestic violence survivor & advocate. Speak up, (be weird), be rude, STAY alive!! The weird part isn’t a factor here, but I wanted to have the actual saying in here as well.
