In my grade 9 health class we will be watching “escape plan” in real time, starting at the end of September. I’m sorry this happened to you but thank you for making a difference.

Everyone has a story, and whenever I see your videos I wonder. Does my ex even know I see him as my abuser? I got out after 8 years of a slow burn, toxic situation. He made me hate myself, question myself, made me afraid, made me want to self delete. But I never called him out explicitly as what he was in my life. It’s irrelevant now. But I do wonder, does he know that that’s how I see him in my life’s story.

I don’t know why, as I’ve seen the vast majority of your videos, but I hadn’t realised just how young you were when you first got together with your ex 😢

I’m glad you’re continuing the series because leaving is just the beginning.

I am not happier since I left. I am less stressed and more relaxed... but not happy.

I’m three years out of an abusive marriage and was finally starting to feel independent, like my life was actually mine again. But somehow he is still controlling it. There was a lot of financial abuse, including loans and debts put in my name without my knowledge. A few days ago I opened my bank account and found out it had been seized because of a judgment I knew nothing about, and now my wages are being garnished too. I’ve spent four days calling and reaching out everywhere, just trying to find someone who can help me fill out the court forms to ask for a stay so I can at least have a chance to defend myself. I have no money left, and if I can’t get this stopped before the end of the month, I won’t even be able to pay my rent. I honestly don’t know where else to turn. I worked so hard to rebuild my life after leaving him, and I can’t understand how he can still have this much control over it three years later.

I too have a zoom meeting with my lawyers and my soon to be ex-husband and his lawyers at the end of October. I’ve never had a zoom meeting. I don’t know what to do, I’m very nervous about it. I have not laid eyes on him since May 2024. I think I will take your Post-it note suggestion

I have to see mine for the first time in 2 years in 10 days. It is absolutely terrifying! We’re doing the lawyer thing too.

I did this in September I had video meditation with out lawyers and a financial cpa to try and split things. I put a post it over him and a bucket that I kept getting sick in. It took me a few days to feel well again and he refused to sign until the end of February the next year. It took 2 years and $10,000 and the best thing I have ever bought in my life!

It’s me, sorry. :
I’ve watched you from the beginning. I was like you. I watched him go into the closet, pull the gun, undo the safety and point it in my chest. I have never felt more peace in wanting it over with. Fortunately he was too drunk, fell down and passed out. I packed everything overnite in bags called movers first thing and called my parents that I had to come home. Nothing more humbling than asking your father to document you body. Covered in purple, black and blue…. 5 years later. I’m married to a man who hasn’t raised a hand or said one curse or demeaning word to me. I am still working on trusting . It’s real.

My lawyer told me to do the post it thing during my divorce zoom meditation session. I drew a sad clown face on it (because he was the sad sausage always playing the victim). It made me laugh a little too often throughout the two hours but it worked 😂
