@healingbythenumbers_: Welcome to That Was Abuse: Breaking Point. Everything I’m about to share happened over just four days. Four days that ended with the moment I realized: I wasn’t safe. I had no idea what my ex was capable of. And I needed to leave. … Day 4: Noon The breaking point. I thought I knew what danger looked like. I thought I’d see it coming. But I didn’t. It was just lunch. A messy sandwich. A cruel laugh. A choice to say “no more” for once. And then he picked up a knife. I froze. I couldn’t process it. I missed a meeting. I sat in the next one completely numb. It wasn’t our most violent incident. But it was the moment I stopped telling myself it wasn’t a big deal. It took three more weeks to start planning my exit. But that was the moment I knew: I couldn’t stay. That was abuse. 💛 Follow along @healingbythenumbers #healingbythenumbers #thatwasabuse #survivorstories #getreadywithme #breakingpoint
I just had the realization that Im not safe yesterday. I have been following this series and it has helped given me the acceptance of my situation. I have gaslight myself for way to long. I'm done waiting for him to change.

thank you for sharing this, people NEED to hear these things because often times the abuser will downplay it and say "oh she left me over a joke" or "she left me over mustard" its not about the joke or the mustard its about the endless abuse you endure and one day a switch flips and you realize youre better than this .

Thank you for sharing your story for all of the women out there trying to build the courage to leave. Helping my mommy leave her ex was single handily the hardest thing I have ever experienced and truly shaped me into the woman I am today.

ooof your series is bringing back some memories. I'm so glad you got out. I'm so glad I got out. Sending anger, power, and self-love to those still getting out. There is life after and we are worthy of it!

I'm so glad that you got out. Thank you for using your experience as a teaching tool for other people. I work in mental health and I went through the same thing. I have found that sharing my story and using my experience has been beneficial to my healing process and to the individuals I provide services for.

Trauma aside, I have this makeup vision in which your left eye is a smokey eye and your right is holographic iridescent like a dark faerie queen with a foot in each world ✨

I have to sleep on the couch. sometimes I am not allowed to watch the TV. anything that he has purchased is his and we share the rent, but if he purchased it. I can't use it. I have been dragged out of bed scrapted me up and hurt and he had my phone thrown out while he.

when I told my former spouse that he hurt my feelings on our 15 year anniversary by saying to me first thing in the morning "happy anniversary, sorry you wasted your life. I wouldn't want to be married to me either." and he raged smashing up the stove with a cast iron skillet, putting a few holes in walls with the now broken skillet, and a few dings in the floor and cabinetry. all while yelling in my face, nose to nose. then had the audacity to be hurt when I told him I didn't believe he wouldn't ever put his hands on me. it took me a year to leave after that.

Too much drama for a random lunch break. I’d rather be single than deal with that

My breaking point was very similar. He swung a hammer into the wall beside my face. It was the first time I feared him killing me. Things were much more physically violent before, but this was the first time I didn’t know if I would be alive the next day.
