Hi Forgotten, Please know this you are not forgotten, you have people here who would and will do what we can to help, since I dont know where you live, for now all we can do is give you support and the first business is to get the hell out. Please find the strenght to find a shelter, church, domestic violence shelter, get in your phone book under county or state organizations, there will be someone, somewhere, somehow that you can get help.
The longer you stay the sicker you are going to get. This person (he is not a man) is a narcisstic, sociopath, its only a matter of time before he puts his hands on you. He can only feel good when he is putting you down. This person is very sick, please get the hell out, there is nothing there for you to stay. What good is a house, its not a home, a home is where you live and feel safe from the outside world. The outside world is in that house. As for your dogs, they also can be left in shelters until you can find a home for them. Even if you cant take them, no shelters just give dogs to anyone, they are kept healthy and happy until they can be adopted by a loving family.
Thank the powers that be you have no children with this thing. It is not going to be easy, but you have to get up and get out, I can pretty much quarentee you will feel better physically once you leave this thing. No one, and I mean NO ONE deserves to be treated like that. You have to know you can be happy, with or without a person in your life, but you must work on yourself first, make sure you never allow something like that thing into your life ever again. I promise you, you will feel better with every step you take getting away from this thing. Let them be someone elses problem, not yours, you deserve so much better, only you can make that happen.
Look on the internet for support groups for women who are going thru similar things, they are out there, they will help you, Please dont let this be your life, it does not have to be.
By the way, I am Kathy, once again please leave asap. There is nothing to stay for.
Good luck to you, get some help, and get out!!
Take care,
Kat
