I have been in an abusive relationship myself. We try to believe that things will get better. ITs hard to face the truth, they are who they are. No matter how much you try you can never change him. I was 7 months pregnant the night my life changed forever. He came home really upset, and I wanted to talk about it. Things became very physical. He snapped that night. I don’t remember much. I woke up in a hospital bed. I was no longer pregnant, and has bruises everywhere. One of my eyes were swollen shut. Never in a million years did I ever believe that it would ever come to that. I always wanted to think that maybe we can make it work. It took losing my child and almost losing my own life, to see the truth. I will not lie it will hurt. You need to find your worth, and your voice. I promise you the pain will pass. I cannot say when it will, but it will. These things take time. Just have faith in yourself and God. Prayer can work miracles. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
