The whole thing started after I flew from Colorado to see a friend in Houston. He and I went out one night and out of the blue, standing right in front of me, was my perfect match!

He was fascinating and notably good looking. Six weeks down the line, I left my excellent position, packed my belongings, and moved to his home. Friends and family just about all instructed me to follow my heart. I cannot believe that I abandoned my job, close family, and close friends behind for the sake of love! Love became complete destruction!

Immediately after relocating, my new sweetheart turned out to be possessive and mentally and physically violent. I never in my personal life dealt with this prior to now and was indeed incredibly taken aback! He most definitely possessed major problems.

I instantly found a stable position and was able to acquire my very own apartment, which i needed to locate while at the office. I was thinking separate locations might make much of our uncomfortable relationship a lot better. Not a chance! Any time the guy appeared to be lonely, or in a rage, he would stock me both at home and at the office.

This man used to become angry, slap me, and throw and smash things. He'd consequently cry, apologize, and tell me that no one was ever going to absolutely adore me the manner in which he would.

I wanted to exit the tumultuous relationship, but felt my life was in danger. I discussed my boyfriend's repeated outbursts to my girlfriends and these individuals all tried to help me, nonetheless I found myself too terrified to leave.

My boyfriend was bi-polar and in monetary ruins. It truly sucked! I believed he would shift and that I could help. Along with his wicked side, he was amusing and naturally smart. That is the aspect about him which I enjoyed. For a few of months it looked like the relationship had been getting better, thus I moved back in with him.

Things proceeded to go downhill rather swiftly. I endured an emotional rollercoaster ride for 5 years and grew to become unhappy and depressed. I couldn't eat, and shrunk down to a tiny little 108 lbs.

My good friends became concerned because I appeared dreadfully emaciated. I shopped in the children's clothing section because even a ladies size one was too large!

I ended up being so anxious that I called the domestic violence hotline and contacted an experienced advocate, whom I connected with confidentially. The woman explained explosive personalities as well as the ongoing never-ending cycle of violence which includes the honeymoon stage, time-bomb, and explosion! Exactly how did she know this? It was like she had a window directly into my life.

One particular afternoon, after several years of really being incredibly miserable, I proceeded to go for a long walk with a friend. She experienced been in this predicament before. She said that my despairing boyfriend was in no way going to change! We chatted for hours. It sunk in and I finally had enough!

Subsequently that afternoon, I mustered up the courage to start looking for a place to live. Within just days, I was living in a beautiful townhouse, roomie included.

That ended up being the beginning of my independence! I started socializing with pals and began to experience living once more.

A year later, I bought a new townhouse and we finally broke up. I began dating once again and thus met and wedded my amazing husband.I currently live a healthy and happy life along with a regular, funny person. I find it difficult to think about exactly what would likely have occurred if I remained with my furious x-boyfriend waiting for him to improve.

In the event that you are going through domestic violence, I highly recommend you inform the individuals closest to you. Speak to with a domestic violence advocate as soon as possible!
