This is so true. My sister was murdered by her ex a month after she left.

I 💯 knew he was going to take everything I built with him and never stop coming for me but boy is it even worse than I thought it could be.

I remember every time my father threatened us to slit our throats (my mother and my 4 siblings) while we are sleeping if we decide to leave him

I stayed because I told myself I was doing the “right thing” but I didn’t realize she knew I thought that way and took advantage. Maybe not even deliberately. I won’t take it back though and betray my former self. I will NEVER do that again though. Nor should you. Leaving sucks. Staying can end up so much worse.

this and things like it is 100% why I swapped out saying something is good or bad with adaptive or maladaptive - a lot of things we do that hurt us now were protecting us before

Sylvia-Recovering from abuse :
I was freaking afraid because I didn’t want our daughter to be alone with him because when she was 1 year old he held her over the staircase and asked if he should let her go! So i stayed. I knew it would be hell if I left him, at least by staying I had some kind of control to temper his anger.

Yep. I was afraid of him. I was afraid of him turning the kids against me. I was afraid of how his influence would harm my children during a week of solo parenting. I was afraid of the financial abuse getting worse. I stayed until my kids were old enough to know what the hell is up and until I had some financial power again. If anyone wants to criticize me for that they can fuck all the way off.

Post separation abuse is the reason women remain in abusive marriages/situations. I didn’t want to give him access to my children because he’s dangerous. Unfortunately the family court did give him access. He DARVO’d his way through it. The legal professionals support the legal abuse and it’s unethical. They are dreadful people.
