Leaving abusive relationships

11/21/2024

It’s been awhile since I posted, but here we are. Long story short, I thought the pregnancy would land me here admitted into the hospital but the pregnancy and baby have been doing great.

I fainted a week ago and needed to go by ambulance to the hospital, then at my regular ob appointment they discovered my cervix was dilating, so to make sure my heart was good for surgery they did some tests and those came back with pulmonary embolisms.

So I’ll be here for awhile. Room number is 426 if anyone wants to visit. Looks like I’ll be missing all the holidays his year. 😢

The military is known for protecting abusive members, no woman should go to work afraid of the men she works with.

Thoughts on Killer Sally? Another example of the justice system not believing a woman based on her appearance. Battered woman syndrome is a real thing and unfortunately people only take it seriously once it’s gone to far.

A majority of victims cover up the abuse, so when it comes to situations like this it looks like they were the aggressor. Always make sure you journal if you’re not comfortable enough opening up to your family or friends.

I saw this article this morning, and the first thing I noticed was the bizarre amount of comments blaming the victim.

Statistically 20 people are abused every minute per day. So you’ve either been abused or know someone who has. So why are we still victim blaming? Women have progressed far enough to finally be in the White House but we don’t believe other women who come forward with allegations of abuse.

“Narcissists can’t be narcissistic in a vacuum. They need the right audience in order to feel like a star, for example, so they often cultivate relationships with people who stick around for the show, instead of the person.”

Sometimes, the right approach can soften even the hardest of hearts.

Staring over is hard enough, it can be overwhelming and exhausting if your partner is the breadwinner.

I myself was in a financially abusive relationship. I had no control over the money, I started over after he took everything from me. It’s not impossible but it is traumatic. I hope that more resources become available to people who need the help, sometimes it’s the only thing keeping someone in an abusive relationship.

“Coercive control is a strategic pattern of behaviour designed to exploit, control, create dependency and dominate.”

Coercive control is born out of the dynamics of everyday life. It is when a victim’s life is micro-managed and they have little, or no, space for action.
