@southern_charm1972: Five years of growth, perseverance and finding peace. If I can do it, you can too! #narcissisticabuse #toxicrelationship #emotionalabuse #strongwomen #radicalacceptance
This made me emotional. I met my ex-husband when I was 17 at church. And several years later, we moved from California to Tennessee with our two dogs. And then about seven years ago I found out he was cheating on me so I divorced him I lost one of my dogs in the process and I left and lived by myself in a state with no family and I worked several jobs and I pulled myself out of the ditch. And then two years later, I’ve been a man that was very different from my ex-husband and he said he was a Christian man and he seemed like he was so good to me and I moved in with him after a year and I got pregnant at year two with my miracle daughter when I was 37 years old. She just turned three on Halloween and I’m almost 40 and I broke up with him four months ago and I’ve been trapped cohabitating. My dog died a year and a half ago and now she’s buried in his backyard and I have to leave her here. The last few weeks have been literal hell. I’m not giving up but when it was just me and my dog, I fought really hard and made a way. But now it’s me and my little daughter who I just found out has autism and I’ve never had a break. I’ve never had anyone watch her outside of him in three years. And I’m trying so hard to put things together. Sometimes you just need help. I’ve always been the kind of person that works really hard and I’m not scared of that but what happens when you’re with your child almost 24/7 and they have major sleep disturbances and you’re exhausted? I know that God is bigger than this, and I know that he will bring us through this. Right now I feel so isolated and sad. You can have faith while you’re on the boat during the storm, but that doesn’t mean the storm is not gonna make you cold and uncomfortable and toss you around. I’ve never had a man make my life better. And I’m sad because both the men that I’ve been with the longest said they were Christian men and they were just con artist liar narcissists. Now I know what to look out for, but it’s really sad that it took years of my life. I know that life’s not fair but this is just beyond unfair. I’m just deeply sad right now. What you had to say is encouraging.

Abuser has Many ways of hiding their lies and character, I was married and lived with one for 6years with constant abuse, After the abuse I was recorded secretly and was made fun of with his friend watching this video, He would still leave the kids and I to see this Women He hangs around with sometimes not coming home, it all ended when I was able to recover this abusive videos on his phone and email, and got access to his internet activities, I got text messages of his infidelity and his drug abusive side, found out he was cheating on me all this while without him knowing and this helped me with my divorce and child custody, My mental state is still undergoing recovery, I got recommend to @Cyberclone on Tiktok if you need such help with an abusive person or cheating partner you can reach out to him
